Objective: We aimed to determine the effectiveness of an identified Javanese turmeric ethanolic extract (IIJTEE) for eradicating biofilms formed by
Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, or both.
Methods: Such biofilms during different growth phases were exposed to various concentrations of an IJTEE to determine its effects on bacterial
proliferation.
Results: The effectiveness of the IJTEE in eradicating the S. mutans biofilm was concentration-dependent but not when used to treat P. gingivalis and
S. mutans - P. gingivalis biofilms.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of the IJTEE for eradicating biofilms formed by S. mutans, P. gingivalis, and S. mutans plus P. gingivalis biofilms depended
on the growth phase of the biofilm. Thus, IJTEE eradicated biofilms formed by S. mutans, P. gingivalis, or both.
