Mean values of zone of inhibition of periodontopathic bacteria
Groups | Periodontopathic bacteria (mean ± SD) | ||
---|---|---|---|
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans | Porphyromonas gingivalis | Prevotella intermedia | |
1% CLE solution | 26.94 ± 1.52 | 23.81 ± 1.35 | 21.83 ± 1.66 |
0.2% CHX solution | 24.67 ± 1.23 | 24.92 ± 1.22 | 23.71 ± 1.41 |
P-value | 0.55 ns | 0.62 ns | 0.61 ns |
CHX = chlorhexidine, CLE = Curcuma longa extract, ns = not significant, SD = standard deviation
*P ≤ 0.5, significant.
