Abstract
MIC and MBC values showed that Nigella sativa nanoemulsion affects tooth cariogenicic bacteria. Enterococcus faecalis and Lactobacillus acidophilus were the most resistant and susceptible bacteria to this nanoparticle, respectively, while the antimicrobial effects of Nigella sativa nanoemulsion were weaker than the chlorhexidine mouthwash.
