Mouth Gargles and Antimicrobial Activities of Extracts of Corn Silk

Abstract

Carries and plaque of dental are the most widespread diseases, this problem are caused by the mixture of microorganisms and debris of food and are caused by a mixture of microorganisms and debris of food debris. Streptococcus mutans are the main culprit for dental problems that colonize on the dental surface and caused damage to the tooth surface. Corn silk alludes to the marks of shame of Zea mays L. (Gramineae) from the female blossoms of maize. it is restoratively utilized in the treatment various infection. Screening of plant against pathogenic microscopic organisms is a significant stage to approve its restorative properties. Subsequently, the point of this review was to research the capacity of extracted corn silk to inhibit the growth of cariogenic bacteria and compare the efficacy with commercial gargles and Amoxi-Clav antibiotics. Our in-vitro study results show a double inhibition effect on S. mutans as compared with amoxi-clav, and a significant inhibitory effect compared with commercial gargles. Corn silk extract were tested for their antimicrobial activity and showed higher significant activity than amoxi-clav and commercial gargle against S. mutans (p < 0.05)
