An in vitro study of antibacterial efficacy of salvadora persica (miswak) extract against enterococcus faecalis

Salvadora persica is widely used in dental field to improve dental health and promote dental hygiene. Although sodium hypochlorite is highly recommended and regarded as the most effective irrigant in root canal treatment to eliminate bacteria, it can cause harm to patients manifested by severe pain,...
