Inhibiton of green okra fruit (Abelmochus esculentus) extract against Staphylococus aureus ATCC 6538 root canals of teeth

Staphylococcus aureus is bacteria identified in the root canal of infected teeth by 20%, resistant and isolated from secondary treatment. NaOCl 2.5%has toxic properties causes irritation when pushed into periapical tissue. Green okra fruit (GOF) extract has antibacterial metabolite compound i.e.flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins terpenoids. This research was carried out to determine inhibition GOF against S.aureus. Inhibition test useddisc diffution method which consisted 5 groups, i.e. with concentration 1.563%, 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 2.5% NaOCl; ave-rage diameter zone were 0 mm, 14.51 17.95 24.56 respectively. It concluded that S.aureus starting 6.25%. close at 12.5%.
