Treatment of Some Oral Injuries With Medical Extracts

Abstract

Periodontitis is an infectious disease in periodontal tissue and is able to cause a plaque that 
contains bacteria on the teeth. These bacteria colonize the oral cavity, invade the periodontal tissue, 
and attack the body’s host system. Iraq has many floras and one of them is called Water hyacinth. 
This flora is commonly known as waste because its ability to pollute the environment. However, 
water hyacinth has a useful material including alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins that can be used as 
the antibacterial agents. The study aims to determine the effect water hyacinth leaf extract to 
limitation of dental diseases with aqueous plant extraction. in this study using two type of bacterial 
which caused periodontal diseases (Gram –ve E.coil and Gram +ve S. auras and prepared different 
concentrations from hyacinth plant extract The results has proven water hyacinth leaf extract 
evidenced better activity against the E.coil more than S. auras bacterial . The result adds to the 
value of the plant in pharmaceutical field as an antimicrobial agent. The global need for alternative 
prevention and treatment options and products for oral diseases that are safe, effective and 
economical comes from the rise in disease incidence (particularly in developing countries), 
increased resistance by pathogenic bacteria to currently used antibiotics and chemotherapeutics.
