MATERIALS: Ninety volunteers, 20-50 years of were recruited. They were divided into 3 groups. Mouthwashes used- 25 aqueous Babul solution. 6.2 aqueous Alum solution, or distilled water. Unstimulated and stimulated saliva were collected for five minutes. Tile first change to visit one sample was a base line Then after one week ( visit 2). Each subject was given 15 ml of ran-domized assigned mouthwash to rinse for one minute daily, then measurements were done after 2 and 4 weeks I visit 3,4). Count of Streptococcus mutans and Lactohacilli were performed. RESULTS: Results showed that unstimulated saliva in visit one had significantly higher mean values than visit 3 and visit 4 (p<0.05j. However, mean stimulated saliva in visit 2 was significantly lower than visit 3 and visit 4 (p<0.05). There was an observable difference in the count of Strep tococcus mutans. The number of cases witli high count was reduced in final assessment to zero,while subjects with low count increased similarly relative to one use of Babul mouthwash. Although there were no significant differences among count of Lactobacillus. both mouthwashes showed a progressive decrease in the subjects with high bacterial count of Lactobacillus. CONCLUSIONS: Babul and Alum reduced salivary flow rate after the repeated use, winch could be used in moisture control for denial procedures. Both mouthwashes had antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mulans and Lactobacilli indicating the promising use of these natural sub- stances as antibacterial compounds.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : Egyptian Dental Journal  Volume : 52  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2006 AH 2006 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, June 21, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email سلمى باحنان Bahnnan, Salma Investigator Doctorate Sbahnnan@kau.edu.sa كمال الطاهر Eltahir, Kamal Researcher Doctorate   نذير خان Khan, Nazeer Researcher Doctorate   عبد الهادي ابانمي Abanmi, Abdulhadi Researcher Master   Files File Name Type Description  EFFECT OF BABUL AND ALUM ON SALIVARY FLOW.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
