The student of the Faculty of Medicine, Abeer F. Mahmoud Al-Hamdani (first grade) won the first place of the Obada Prize Distinguished Students International for the year 2021. The award was obtained for her participation in the research project entitled “The Effects of Selected Toothpaste, Antibiotics and Miswak on the Bacteria Isolated from the Human Oral Cavity”

In the study, five different types of toothpastes, five types of antibiotics and a miswak were used to investigate their effect on bacteria isolated from the human oral cavity.

Colgate toothpaste was found to be the most effective compared to other types of toothpastes. While the miswak had an effective effect on stopping the growth of bacteria, while the antibiotics used showed less efficiency in limiting the growth of bacteria compared to the pastes.
