Objectives: This in vitro study was carried out to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of leaf and root extract of Moringa oleifera against four strains of periodontal pathobionts namely T.forsythia, F.nucleatum, P.gingivalis,P.intermedia.
Method: The root and leaves extract were prepared using 95%ethanol by Maceration method of extraction. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of plant extracts were determined against each bacterium using thioglycolate broth through serial dilution method.
Result: All the test microorganisms were found to be sensitive to both leaf and root extracts. Ethanolic leaf extracts exhibited bactericidal activity against all except P.intermedia to which it was bacteriostatic. Root extract inhibited growth of the test microorganisms F.nucleatum. P.gingivalis and P.intermedia and was bactericidal to T.forsythia.
Conclusion: Extracts of this easily available plant could be a possible source to obtain a new and effective herbal medicine in the treatment of periodontal diseases. The combination potentials of its extracts with commercially available antibiotics in the treatment of periodontitis holds a promising approach in future
