Plant species used in dental diseases: ethnopharmacology aspects and antimicrobial activity evaluation.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ethnopharmacological surveys show that several plant species are used empirically by the population, in oral diseases. However, it is necessary to check the properties of these plant species.

Aim Of The Study: To evaluate in vitro antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans from plant species selected in a previous ethnopharmacology study.
