Conclusions: The three test herbal extracts possess effective anti-cariogenic properties with near par with the efficacy of chlorhexidine and T. ammi proved to be the most potent. The extracts at different concentrations also proved to be safe, noncytotoxic producing a range of 96%−99% of cell viability of the oral keratinocytes.
