Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial efcacy of ethanolic extracts of Bhringraj, Haritaki and Shankapushpam against S. mutans and compare with commercially available 0.2% Chlorhexidene gluconate (CHX). Materials And Methods: Ethanolic extracts of Bhringraj, Haritaki and Shankapushpam were obtained by subjecting them to hot continuous extraction process and test extracts of 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.12% concentrations were prepared. Their antimicrobial efcacy was evaluated and compared with 0.2% CHX against S. mutans using the agar dilution method. The results were statistically analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and LSD Post Hoc tests. Results: Haritaki seemed to have superior and statistically signicant antimicrobial activity when compared to the test extracts at all the concentrations at which they were tested. It was followed by 0.2% CHX, which also showed considerable antimicrobial activity even at a low concentration. Conclusion: Ethanolic extract of Haritaki has better antimicrobial efcacy compared to 0.2% CHX at the tested concentrations and can be considered as a safe herbal alternative for it.
