This study presents the formulation and evaluation of a herbal mouthwash containing extracts from Ginger, Tulsi, and Amla, aimed at combating dental caries-associated bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans. Herbal ingredients were extracted and concentrated, and two formulations (F1 & F2) were prepared, varying extract concentrations. The mouthwashdemonstrated physical attributes within acceptable ranges, with pH values of 6.8 and 6.6. Accelerated stability studies revealed consistent properties over three months at elevated temperatures. Antimicrobial activity against clinical strains displayed substantial inhibition, with F2 exhibiting greater efficacy than F1. The zone of inhibition for S. mutans was 23 mm (F2) and 24 mm (standard), while for S. aureus, it was 25 mm (F2) and 24 mm (standard). This herbal mouthwash shows promise in combating oral pathogens and warrants further exploration in dental care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
