Effect of Sugar-Free Chewing Gum Containing Tulsi Extract on Salivary Streptococcus Mutans in a Group of Children

"The intervention involves participants chewing a specially formulated gum known as Tulsi Gum for 5 minutes. Tulsi Gum contains Tulsi extract, a natural substance derived from the Tulsi plant. This extract is recognized for its potential antimicrobial properties. Participants are then required to discard the gum. The study aims to assess the effect of Tulsi Gum on salivary Streptococcus mutans count in children aged 4 to 11 years. This assessment contributes to understanding the potential of Tulsi Gum in preventing dental caries in children."
