Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess the antimicrobial potential of Syzygiumaromaticumagainst bacterial strains which causes the dental caries by disc diffusion technique. The organisms reported to cause dental caries such as Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivariousand Fusobacterium nucleatumwere used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Syzygiumaromaticumextract, which were isolated from dental caries. Ethanolic extract of Syzygiumaromaticumat 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 Syzygiumaromaticumexhibited dose dependent inhibition against Streptococcus mutansand Streptococcus salivarious. All the concentrations of ethanolic extract of Syzygiumaromaticumshowed strong antibacterial activity against Fusobacterium nucleatum. From the result it was concluded that, ethanolic extract of Syzygiumaromaticumexhibited antimicrobial activity against the organisms which causes dental caries
