Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the anti -inflammatory
and the anti-microbial effect of the Matricaria chamomilla Fam. Astraceae and
the Trigonella foenum-graecum L. Fam. Leguminosae . and to determine their
effect on smear layer when used as root canal irrigants. Material and methods:
The seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. and flower heads of Matricaria
chamomilla L. were percolated in ethanol (70%) till exhaustion to get different Tfractions. These fractions then were subjected to activity -guided fractionation ofplant extracts. Total extract, Petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and the butanol fractions were subjected to anti-inflammatory activity and the
antimicrobial test against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. The
anti-inflammatory activity was carried out following the method of (Domenjoz
1952).
