La Kola Nitida est une substance extraite de la graine du kolatier. En Afrique de l'ouest, son utilisation par mastication est presque généralisé chez le peuple manding. On l'attribue des propriétés toniques, stimulantes, aphrodisiaques et des études récentes montrent qu'elle possède également des propriétés antibactériennes. L'objectif de cette étude est d'évaluer l'action de la kola Nitida sur différentes espèces bactériennes impliquées dans les deux principales pathologies bucco-dentaires (les caries dentaires et les maladies parodontales). Les résultats indiquent que l'extrait de kola n'est pas efficace sur les bactéries testées, à la dose habituelle utilisée chez les masticateurs.
The Nitida Kola is a substance extracted from the kolanut. In West Africa its use by chewing is widespread among the Manding people. It's said to have tonic, stimulant and aphrodisiac characteristics and even recent studies have shown that it has antibacterial characteristics. The aim of this study is to make an estimation of the Nitida Kola' s effects on different bacterial species involved in the two main oral and dental pathologies (teeth decays and periodontal illnesses). The obtained results indicate that the kola extract is not effectual against the tried-out bacteria at regular dose used by chewing.
