| dc.description.abstract | This invitro experiment was conducted to test the antibacterial activity of different crude aloe
vera extracts on dental flora. A single colony from the plated oral sample media, was picked and
cultured in broth media. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol and aqueous aloe vera
extracts was determined using agar well diffusion method. The study proved that the aqueous
extract was more effective than the methanol extract. The variations in antimicrobial activity of
tested aloe vera extracts were compared with equal concentrations of ciprofloxacin and the
bacteriostatic activity of the extracts was observed only at a high concentration of the aloe vera
powder(0.05g/ml). | |
