Abstract
The effects of Murraya extract on caries was examined in an experimental caries model, using golden hamsters (N=30) . The animals were divided into three groups, experimental group 1 (given the caries promoting diet (D# 2000) added 0.1 % Murraya extract and tap water) experimental group 2 (given D#2000 and tap water added 0.1 % Murraya extract) and control group (given D#2000 and tap water) . The two experimental groups showed lower caries scores than the control group. When the caries scores among the experimental groups were compared, experimental group 2 showed a lower caries score than experimental group 1.
These results suggested that Murraya extract could be useful for inhibiting dental caries.
