Clinical effect of Juglans regia on developing dental plaque

Abstract

2% and 3% concentration of petrol-ether and ether fractions in propylene glycol and 2% water soluble extract of the bark of Juglans regia were tried against developing plaque. All the preparations were applied twice a day on 20 subjects for 3 days. Results compared with three days old base line plaque score demonstrated maximum plaque inhibition (32.40% ) by 2% ether extract.
