Abstract

Background: The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antitumor, antiarthritic, and anti-diabetic properties of aloe vera has been well documented in the literature. Considering its antibacterial properties evaluating its benefits as mouth rinse in the oral diseases may facilitate the patients in getting cheaper and safer herbal remedy to clean their oral cavities. Objective:  To evaluate the Antibacterial efficacy of aloevera peel extract against Streptococcus mutans and P. gingivalis. Methodology: It was a preclinical experimental study conducted at Baqai Medical and Dental College Karachi, from February to March 2023. Calculated sample size was n =60. The participants were given an envelope for group randomization. S. mutant samples and P. gingivalis were incubated on appropriate media. The Aloe Vera leaves were washed and gel was removed the peels were shed dried and lastly was grinded to powder form. Ethanol (70%) were used for soaking for 15 days with intermittent shaking.
