Innovative Teucrium polium L. Extracts Show Promising Antimicrobial Efficacy Against Oral Bacteria

Posted: January 14, 2025
The study explored the antimicrobial properties of Teucrium polium L. extracts against bacteria associated with dental decay. Ethanol and hydroethanol extracts were most effective, inhibiting the growth of various oral bacteria. Combining these extracts with effective solvents could combat dental decay bacteria. Mouthwashes with these extracts were effective at inhibiting oral bacteria growth. Future research should investigate the extracts' mechanisms of action and practical applications in dental therapies.
