Antimicrobial, antibiofilm, cytotoxicity, and substantivity of aged garlic extract against oral bacteria: an in-vitro study
AGE was effective in inhibiting the growth of periodontal pathogens. However, its antimicrobial effects were not statistically significant when compared to doxycycline. AGE is biocompatible with gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts and has good substantivity to the dentin surface.
