Antibacterial Activity of Flax Seeds Extract Rinse against Streptococcus mutans Colonies

Background: Flax seeds has health-potentiating medicinal benefits due to the presence of a remarkable amount bioactive compounds. The antibacterial activity ethanolic extract flax against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae been documented. Therefore, current study aims investigated rinse Streptococcus mutans colonies
 Methodology: It was preclinical experimental sample size n = 60. participants were given an envelope for group randomization. Film plaque from labial surface teeth collected on sterile strips that transported laboratory culture in containers. For S. mutant samples inoculated Columbia Agar. diluted distilled water 1:4 (Extract: Distilled water) concentration. And divided into 3 groups. (negative control, positive seed group). Diluted rinses, negative control controls commercially available mouth rinse. Next after two hours observe effects bacterial colonies.
 Results: growth colonies calculated media plates prior rinsing taken rinsing. pre post showed significant (p-value <0.05) decrease number (conventional rinse) group.
 Conclusion: reduced equally as
