Abstract :
Malva sylvestris is one of the most important plants used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries is the health of most developed countries. The juice is a potent anti-oxidant strong disinfectant. The leaves and flowers of this plant have a great application in the provision of Medicine and treatment in traditional medicine. In this research, Malva sylvestris was collected from the Anzan Meshgin-Shahr area in the northwest of Iran. The essential oil was extracted by Clevenger's apparatus, GC and GC/MS devices were used for analysis of essential oil compounds and accurate measurements of the compounds. Then, the effect of the essential oil of the Malva sylvestris and control on the common bacteria of the oral infection evaluated in two ways: Disc deffusion And minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). According to the results, the essential oil of the herb has a significant inhibitory effect on the types of gram negative and positive bacteria. Also, comparing the diameter of the non-growth of the plant with chlorhexin, it was found that the essence of the herb medicine showed relatively similar results to that of the chlorhexin. According to the findings, essential oil of the herb has a good anti-microbial effect against the common bacteria of oral infections. As a result, the essential oil of this plant with different concentrations, after completing studies, can be an appropriate alternative for chemical drugs and chemical mouthwashes in the treatment of oral bacterial infections.
