Dental caries is an oral disease which is infectious in nature associated with various pathogenic microorganisms and is prevalent across the world.
To evaluate and compare the anticariogenic properties of the different plant extracts against various cariogenic microorganisms.
In phase I, the anticariogenic efficacy of four different herbal extracts, namely (), (), (), and (Licorice), was evaluated against two strains of bacteria viz. and In the second phase of the study, the overall decay depth was compared.
In phase I, zone of inhibition was significantly higher in (Licorice) followed the descending order by (), (), and (), respectively. In the second phase, it was found that the decay depth was significantly higher in () followed the descending order by (), (), and (Licorice), respectively.
(Licorice) extract had potent antibacterial efficacy against and
Synthetic drugs have many adverse effects, so more attention has been paid to natural remedies because they are safe and effective. Today, the main interest is shifted toward the drugs which is derived from plants, which has led to the screening of many herbal plants for their potential antimicrobial activity and the same can be used clinically as an alternative of synthetic drugs used in dentistry.

龋齿是一种本质上具有传染性的口腔疾病，与多种致病微生物相关，在全球范围内普遍存在。
评估和比较不同植物提取物对各种致龋微生物的防龋特性。
在第一阶段，评估了四种不同草药提取物，即（）、（）、（）和甘草，对两种细菌菌株即和的防龋功效。在研究的第二阶段，比较了总体龋损深度。
在第一阶段，甘草提取物的抑菌圈明显更大，其次分别是（）、（）和（）提取物，呈递减顺序。在第二阶段，发现（）提取物的龋损深度明显更高，其次分别是（）、（）和甘草提取物，呈递减顺序。
甘草提取物对和具有强大的抗菌功效。
合成药物有许多不良反应，因此人们更加关注天然药物，因为它们安全有效。如今，主要兴趣转向了源自植物的药物，这导致了对许多草药植物的潜在抗菌活性进行筛选，并且这些植物可以在临床上用作牙科中使用的合成药物的替代品。
