Abstract

To evaluate and assess the anti bacteriogenic effect of the extract of bark of Derum (Juglans regia L.) at different concentrations on the salivary microflora.

This study is an experimental in vitro study designed to collect the salivary samples from the patients. All tests were performed under sterile conditions.

The results of the antimicrobial assay of the aqueous and acetone extracts of Derum (J regia L.) at different concentrations of 150 μg, 200 μg, 250 μg, and 300 μg showed that the aqueous extract had significant inhibitory effect on the growth of oral microbial flora compared to the acetone extract.

This study supports the use of natural products as medicines and confirms the antibacterial potentials of the plant J Regia L. (Walnut)
