long-term use of orthodontic appliances and fixation ligatures creates a favorable environment for the accumulation of oral normal microflora and increases the risk of enamel demineralization and periodontal disease. the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of zataria multiflora extract and 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) mouthwash on experimentally contaminated orthodontic elast...

biofilm of pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, can cause serious health problems, such as chronic infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. many studies have suggested administration of new generation of antibiotics, as p. aeruginosa biofilms have developed high resistance to antimicrobial drugs. this study reports the inhibitory effect of three medicinal plant extrac...

Over loading of iron oxide nanoparticles can causes the liver injury through overproduction of free radicals. Zataria multiflora Boiss. (Lamiaceae) has been used for many years in folk medicine due to its antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This study evaluates -for the first time- the effect of Z. multiflora essential oil (EO) against iron oxide nanoparticles hepatotoxicity in rat model....
