    abstract = {Studies were carried out on the sensitivity of a predominant bacterium causing oral infections -dental caries in particular - to three local chewing stick extracts. The extracts were from <I>Fagara xanthoxyloides</I> (Pako Ata); <I>Garcinia kola</I> (Pako Orogbo) and <I>Anogeissus leiocarpus</I> (Pako Ayin). The sensitivity of the test organism <I>Lactobacillus</I> sp. to the different extracts by the ditch plate method was carried out.  Hot and cold water and hot and cold ethanol were used to extract from the chewing sticks.  <I>Anogeissus</I> <I>leiocarpus</I> was the most effective of all the different extracts used. <I>Garcinia kola </I>showed medium effectiveness all through although, the hot ethanolic extract showed the most powerful action while <I>Fagara xanthoxyloides</I> was not effective in the water extracts.}
