EVALUATING OF THE ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY OF PROSOPSIS JULIFLORA AND THREE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MOUTHRINSES: AN IN VITRO STUDY

Immunocompromised individuals are more likely than the general population to get oral and periodontal infections. These conditions, which impact the tissues around teeth, are typically brought on by inadequate dental hygiene, which results in the accumulation of plaque, which harbours a number of bacteria. Although many medications and synthetic compounds on the market appear promising, it is well recognised that continuous usage of these medicines might result in adverse side effects. For this reason, Prosopis juliflora leaf extract is used instead. Unlike commercial mouthrinses, the goal is to test for and evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of P. juliflora crude extract against periodontal and oral infections. Instat Plus was used to calculate the data, and MIC was used to measure the antibacterial activity. It was shown that, in comparison to other commercial mouthrinses, P. juliflora was the most effective mouthrinse against particular microorganisms. The findings of this investigation unequivocally show that P. j. crude extract
