Abstract:Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of synthetic capsaicin and in natura capsaicin against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans,and compare them with each other. The in natura and synthetic extracts of capsaicin at the concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and 3.0% were diluted in 1mL of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The positive control was chlorhexidine 0.12% and the negative control was DMSO. The diameter of the zone of bacterial inhibition was measured afte… Show more
