Plants have been used for centuries to improve dental health and to promote oral hygiene, and this practice persists in several communities throughout the world. "Miswak" is an Arabic word meaning "tooth-cleaning stick," and Salvadora persica miswak has a wide geographic distribution. It was used by ancient Arabs to whiten and polish the teeth. This review discusses the history and chemical com...

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare between the clinical and radiographic effects three medicaments (Salvadora Persica SP, Formocresol Calcium hydroxide) on non-vital pulpotomy primary young permanent molars. Subjects Methods: present a randomized controlled comprised 24 children. These teeth were classified into two equal groups. patients with age from 4-8 years old. In (Grou...

OBJECTIVE The plant Salvadora persica is used for oral hygiene in many parts of the world. It has been suggested that it has antibacterial properties, in addition to its ability to mechanically remove plaques. The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the herbal product Persica containing Salvadora persica against periodontopathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregat...

the adsorption ability of miswak (salvadora persica l.) waste was investigated for the removalof common heavy metals; pb(ii), cu(ii), ni(ii) and cd(ii), from aqueous systems. the miswak mainlyconsists of saponins, tannins, silica and resin, which are accounted for the removal of heavy metal ions fromaqueous systems. the effects of various parameters, such as solution ph, contact time, initial c...

Much effort has focused on examining the inhibitory effect of Salvadora persica (miswak) on oral microorganisms, but information concerning its antibacterial activity against other human pathogens, particularly multidrug resistant (MDR) isolates, is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the in vitro antibacterial activities of Salvadora persica L. extracts against 10 MDR bacterial clini...

Microbicidal potential of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) can be drastically improved by improving their solubility or wettability in the aqueous medium. In the present study, we report the synthesis of both green and chemical synthesis of Ag-NPs, and evaluate the effect of the dispersion qualities of as-prepared Ag-NPs from both methods on their antimicrobial activities. The green synthesis of A...
