To compare the
caries experience between
Azadirachta indica chewing stick users and toothbrush users among 35-44-year-old rural population in Southern India.
Materials and Methods
This
ex post facto research was conducted in the
OBJECTIVE
Biofilms are complex, multi-species bacterial communities that colonize the oral cavity in the form of plaque and are known to cause dental caries and periodontal disease. Present study demonstrated the potential of three selected medicinal plants against isolated and identified dental
OBJECTIVE
The anti-microbial efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (SHC) and 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate were compared with an experimental irrigant formulated from the Neem tree, Azadirachta indica A. Juss.
METHODS
A sample of 36 single rooted anterior teeth with periapical radiolucency and absence
Cavity disinfectants help to remove the microbial remnants; hence, its use prior to any restoration is valuable, and a search for alternative to chlorhexidine (CHX) is required which may be more efficacious and can overcome the drawbacks of CHX.The aim of BACKGROUND
Herbal medication is commonly employed in treatment of diseases. Aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica leaf (A. indica) is commonly used in treatment of malaria by Nigerians. Most often, aqueous extract of A. indica leaf is taken in combination with chloroquine in order to cure malaria
Various chemical agents have been evaluated over the years with respect to their antimicrobial effects in the oral cavity; however, all are associated with side effects that prohibit regular long-term use. Therefore, the effectiveness of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) leaf extract against plaque
Background: Dental caries originates due to the localized dissolution of the hard tissues of teeth mainly caused by acids, developed by the presence of micro-organisms in the biofilm (dental plaque) on the surface of teeth causing
Streptococcus mutans is responsible for causing dental caries in humans and utilizes sucrose for its growth. The dextransucrase (EC 2.4.1.5) is responsible for sucrose metabolism, which exhibits both hydrolytic and glucosyltransferase activities. In this study, we examined the effects of the plant
BACKGROUND
Probably microbial plaque is the main etiology for periodontal tissue inflammation. Various chemical agents have been evaluated over the years with respect to their antimicrobial effects in the oral cavity. However, all are associated with side effects that prohibit regular long-term use.
Nimbidin is a mixture of tetranortriterpenes and is the major active principle of the seed oil of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) possessing potent antiinflammatory and antiarthritic activities. The present study revealed that nimbidin significantly inhibited some of the functions of
The present study was aimed to evaluate the molecular level anticaries effect of different medicinal plants against Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans) glucosyltransferases (gtf).A total of six natural sources named as Terminalia chebula (T.chebula), Psidium BACKGROUND
Oral diseases are among the major public health problems and the commonest of chronic diseases that affect mankind. The application of natural products for the control of oral diseases is considered as an interesting alternative to synthetic antimicrobials due to their lower negative
