Myrrha and Sage extract solutions are promising prophylactic and disinfectant agents against microorganisms, suggesting that these solutions might be useful as antimicrobial topical solutions for dental contamination. Three different concentrations of Myrrha and Sage extract solutions 2%, 5% and 10% were separately exposed to the Candida albicans and chlorohexidine solution that used as control to treat the PMMA and Flexible Acrylic plates, the percentage of colonies reductions were calculated. In case of using Sage extract solutions, the colonies reductions were 60.90%, 84.10% and 90.63%% respectively for PMMA plates compared with 98.56% reduction for chlorohexidine with mean p-value (0.0028)

As regard Myrrha extract solutions, the colonies reductions for PMMA plates were 76.28%, 82.25% and 88.25% respectively, compared with 93.88% of reduction for chlorohexidine with mean p-value (0.0008). This research considers both Myrrha and Sage extract solutions of different plants are promising solutions and capable of using as alternative solutions in treating Candida albicans in either PMMA and Flexible Acrylic plates.
