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.

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.
