Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess the antimicrobial potential of aloe vera against bacterial strains which causes the dental caries by disc diffusion technique. The organisms reported to cause dental caries such as Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarious and Fusobacterium nucleatum were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Aloe vera gel extract, which were isolated from dental caries. Ethanolic extract of Aloe vera gel at various (100 – 500 μg) concentrations were used and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated by disc diffusion method. Doxycycline (100mg) was used as positive control for comparison. Ethanolic extract of Aloe vera gel exhibited dose dependent inhibition against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus salivarious. All the concentrations of ethanolic extract of Aloe vera gel showed strong antibacterial activity against Fusobacterium nucleatum. From the result it was concluded that, ethanolic extract of Aloe vera gel exhibited antimicrobial activity against the organisms which causes dental caries.
