Prevention of dental caries has taken a great importance in the last decade. The use of herbal and natural products became mandatory to avoid the side effects of commercially available medications. Aim of the study; the aim was to investigate the anti-cariogenic effect of miswak and grape seed extract (GSE).
Patients used Miswak sticks, grape seed extract mouth wash and fluoride mouthwash twice daily for three month. Saliva samples were collected at base line and after one month and three month. Assessment of bacterial count and saliva buffering capacity were performed at base line and after one and three month.
