- W2246369613 abstract "Background: Research on Miswak (Salvadora Persica) is still scanty. So far, it has focussed on antimicrobialeffects while research on its physiological effects is still scarce. In this study, salivary and dental plaqueα-amylase activity were compared in regular miswak and brush users. Human salivary α- amylase, a constituentof the acquired dental pellicle, is suggested to play an important role in the development of dental plaque andcaries, and was therefore the subject of this analysis.Methods: The study targeted regular miswak users (n=60), tooth brush users (n=59) and a third experimentalgroup subjected to a short term use of miswak plant extract (Arak of Sudan ) mouth wash. Male participantsin the age group 18-65 years volunteered for the study. Following informed consent, a questionnaire was filledthrough direct interview to asses their oral hygiene and nutritional habits. An oral examination was performedwith the purpose of including or excluding participants. Salivary and dental plaque α-amylase activity was thenmeasured by using appropriate laboratory techniques.Results: The distribution and mean values of salivary α-amylase activity levels among the first two groupsrevealed no significant statistical differences, while a significantly higher levels of dental plaque α-amylaseactivity level was found among regular brush users compared with miswak users. A notable reduction, in dentalplaque α-amylase activity occurred, after sugar intake among miswak users. A strong positive correlation wasfound between salivary and dental plaque activity in miswak and brush regular users.Conclusion: The study suggests that miswak users, as compared to toothbrush users, are less likely todevelop caries." @default.
