Description
Summary: To determine the effectiveness of  in inhibiting halitosis-causing bacteria relative to other possible inhibitors, such as mouthwashes.  This in vitro study was done using a diffusion test with three groups with 11 samples in each group: group A, ; group B, ; and group C, . At 24, 48, and 72 hours, the inhibitory effect of was tested. A statistically significant difference was seen for halo formation in group A, where all 11 samples showed an inhibitory effect after 72 hours. After 48 hours, seven of the 11 samples in group B and nine of the 11 samples in group C showed inhibitory effects.  The study found that had an inhibitory effect on halitosis-causing bacteria like after 72 hours, which was statistically significant. The same was true for and after 48 hours. This means that has an inhibitory effect on halitosis-causing bacteria like .
