Fig. 5From: The efficiency of natural wound healing and bacterial biofilm inhibition of Aloe vera and Sodium Chloride toothpaste preparationMinimal inhibitory concentration and biofilm inhibition of the herbal toothpaste against P.gingivalis. The toothpaste slurries and 0.12% chlorhexidine were prepared as serial dilutions from 40xā2048āĆāand the inhibitory effects were observed. a) The MIC of the H toothpaste was at the 160-fold dilution. 0.12% chlorhexidine demonstrated the lowest MIC at 320-fold dilution. b) A similar trend also seen in the biofilm inhbition assay. c) Statistical analysis indicated that at a 10,240-fold dilution H toothpaste slurry exhibited a significant higher biofilm inhibition compared with 0.12% chlorhexidine. ***ā=āpā<ā0.001, *ā=āpā<ā0.05.
