The antiplaque/anticariogenic efficacy of Salvadora persica (Miswak) mouthrinse in comparison to that of chlorhexidine: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: The plant Salvadora persica (miswak) has a long history of use in oral hygiene. Associations between the use of Salvadora persica and decreased oral bacteria numbers and plaque scores have been reported. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the ability of Salvadora persica mouthrinses to reduce plaque/cariogenic bacteria, in comparison to that of chlorhexidine and/or placebo rinses. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search for clinical trials reporting the use of Salvadora persica rinses as an antibacterial and/or antiplaque agent in comparison with chlorhexidine and

The review encompasses the historical background, chemical composition of miswak (Salvadora persica) and the effects it has on oral health. Miswak is an Arabic word meaning "tooth cleaning stick" and is a natural toothbrush made from the twigs of Salvadora persica (S. persica). Not only is S. persica miswak used in several countries throughout the world, but in some cases, it has proved to be more beneficial as compared to its counterparts-a toothbrush and toothpaste.
PubMed: 24979958Synergistic effect of Salvadora persica and chitosan nanoparticles against oropharyngeal microorganisms.
Herbal medicine combined with nanoparticles has caught much interest in clinical dental practice, yet the incorporation of chitosan with Salvadora persica (S. persica) extract as an oral care product has not been explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effectiveness of Salvadora persica(S. persica) and Chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) against oropharyngeal microorganisms. Agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimal lethal concentration assays were used to assess the antimicrobial activity of different concentrations of ethanolic extracts of S.
PubMed: 38844768A review of the therapeutic effects of using miswak (Salvadora Persica) on oral health.
Miswak is a traditional chewing stick prepared from the roots, twigs, and stem of Salvadora persica and has been used as a natural method for tooth cleaning in many parts of the world for thousands of years. A number of scientific studies have demonstrated that the miswak (Salvadora persica) possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-cariogenic, and anti-plaque properties. Several studies have also claimed that miswak has anti-oxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. The use of a miswak has an immediate effect on the composition of saliva. Several clinical studies have co

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the antibacterial activity of Salvadora persica extract against bacteria isolated from dental plaque of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Out of 40 different clinical specimens collected from patients suffering from plaque-induced gingivitis, 12 Staphylococcus aureus and 8 Streptococcus sp. isolates were recovered. The isolates were screened for their biofilm-forming capacity using tissue culture plate (TCP), tube method (TM), and congo red agar (CRA) method. Antibacterial activity of methanolic S.
PubMed: 31607727Seguridad y Precauciones
El uso de Salvadora persica, comúnmente conocido como miswak, es ampliamente reconocido por su eficacia en la higiene oral, pero su aplicación requiere consideraciones de seguridad específicas. En cuanto al embarazo y la lactancia, no existe evidencia científica directa que documente efectos teratogénicos o riesgos para el desarrollo fetal mediante el uso tópico de los palos de masticación; sin embargo, debido a que la planta posee propiedades farmacológicas diversas (incluyendo efectos antifertilidad reportados en estudios de investigación [PMID 22228963]), se recomienda precaución. Las mujeres embarazadas deben evitar la ingesta sistémica de extractos concentrados de la planta, limitándose al uso mecánico de higiene oral para evitar la absorción de compuestos bioactivos a través de la mucosa oral. Para niños menores de 12 años, el uso es generalmente seguro como herramienta mecánica, pero se debe supervisar la técnica para evitar traumatismos en las encías jóvenes o la ingesta accidental de fragmentos de madera. En cuanto a interacciones farmacológicas, aunque el uso es principalmente tópico, la absorción sistémica de compuestos puede ocurrir. No se han documentado interacciones directas con la warfarina o la metformina en la literatura proporcionada, pero debido a sus propiedades analgésicas y de otros tipos, se debe vigilar cualquier efecto sobre el metabolismo hepático.
