The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of Carica Papaya peel extract (suckling) as an inhibitor of Streptococcus Mutans in students of the dental faculty of the National University of Caaguazú in 2018.

Detailed description

Specific objectives * To determine the inhibition of the extract of the peel of Carica Papaya (baby) at 3% on Streptococcus Mutans by age and sex grouping. * To quantify the inhibition of the extract of the peel of Carica Papaya (baby) at 3% on the growth of Streptococcus Mutans before, at 10 minutes and 8 days of use in the experimental group. * Quantify the inhibition of 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate on the growth of Streptococcus Mutans before, after 10 minutes and 8 days of use in the control group. * Compare the count of Colony Forming Units (CFU) between both groups.
