Salvadora persica
Middle Eastern and South Asian tree whose twigs are used as natural toothbrushes (miswak/siwak); endorsed by WHO for oral hygiene and used in Islamic tradition.
Salvadora persica, commonly known as miswak, is a tree whose twigs are traditionally used as a natural toothbrush for oral hygiene. It exhibits antibacterial activity against oral pathogens, anti-plaque effects, and supports gingival health. Key active compounds include benzyl isothiocyanate, trimethylamine, salvadoricine, fluoride, and silica.
Benzyl isothiocyanate, a major active compound, disrupts bacterial cell membranes and inhibits key enzymes such as glucosyltransferase, reducing biofilm formation. Fluoride promotes enamel remineralization and inhibits demineralization, while silica provides mechanical plaque removal. Additionally, trimethylamine and salvadoricine contribute to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, potentially modulating gingival inflammation pathways.
