Abstract: Aim: Study was aimed to assess the effect of whole pomegranate fruit on oral bacterial load in children less than 6 years of age. Materials and Methods: 30 children between 4 to 6 years age were given 3 table spoons of whole pomegranate after collecting their baseline saliva sample. Children were instructed to abstain from food & liquids for 60 minutes. Post interventional saliva sample were collected after 60 minutes. Data was analysed by t?test and paired t?test at 0.05 level of significance. Results: The mean CFU/ml in the post - operative sample was significantly lower than in the pre - operative sample (p<0.05). Conclusion: The whole pomegranate fruit has significant inhibitory effects on oral bacterial load, and is a promising adjuvant in preventing ECC.
