AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how effective herbal extracts (ginger, turmeric, and nutmeg) are in comparison to modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP) as treatments for canal infections.
- A total of 103 samples were tested with various concentrations of herbal extracts and MTAP; combinations of these extracts were also evaluated for their antibacterial properties.
- Results indicate that the combination of ginger and nutmeg at a 12.5% concentration showed the most effectiveness against bacteria, similar to MTAP's performance.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of herbal extracts over modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP) as intracanal medicaments against (). Ginger, turmeric, and nutmeg extract were checked for antibacterial activity by agar disk diffusion method at 100, 50, 25, and 12.5% concentration. Combination groups were prepared, and the combination group showing the best zone of inhibition was further evaluated.
Materials And Methods: A total of 103 samples were taken and divided into five groups: group I-MTAP, group II-ginger, group III-turmeric, group IV-nutmeg, and group V-saline. Based on different concentrations, the groups were again subdivided into subgroups at 100, 50, 25, and 12.5%. Combination groups of ginger + nutmeg, ginger + turmeric, and turmeric + nutmeg were made and evaluated. The combination group showing the best zone of inhibition was again divided into 100, 50, 25, and 12.5% and further evaluated.
Results: Modified triple antibiotic was effective in the elimination of Herbal extracts showed a reduction in the number of Nutmeg showed a reduction in followed by ginger, followed by turmeric.
Conclusion: This study shows that the combination of ginger + nutmeg at 12.5% concentration (35 mm) showed the highest zone of inhibition among all the herbal combinations, which is almost equal to that of MTAP.

Nest fumigation behavior involves the incorporation of fresh green plant fragments that contain ectoparasite-repellent volatile compounds into birds' nests. This behavior is relatively rare among bird species, and there is ongoing debate about whether it benefits parental breeding success. In this study, we experimentally tested whether the inclusion of aromatic-herbal plant fragments in the nests of great tits affects the physiological condition of nestlings, as indicated by blood levels of hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose, and body condition indices, such as weight and wing length.
