In this study, antimicrobial toothpaste (dentifrice), which can compete with existing toothpaste, was produced using Moringa oleifera root essential oil extract. The extract 2 ml per 100 g obtained, gave peppermint flavor and volatile. phytochemical screening revealed a high concentration of flavonoid, bioactive agent activity in nature. 0.5 the concentrate used to produce 120 gm novel dentifri...

Past few decades have seen a significant increase in the prevalence of dental caries at a global scale. To reduce the pervasiveness of cariogenic microflora, various efforts have been undertaken. However, completely eradicating caries-associated microorganisms has been futile.1 Endogenous bacteria, such as Lactobacillus species, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus sobrinus persisting in bio...

This study was carried out to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates from dental caries patients attending clinic at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Nigeria. A total 223 bacteria samples (Streptococcus mutans = 151; Streptococcus sobrinus 36; Lactobacillus acidophilus 22; salivarius 10; mitis 4) were collected patients. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing ...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial peptides are components of the innate immunity that play an important role in systemic and oral health. OBJECTIVES The antibacterial activity of the amphibian-derived K4 -S4(1-15)a antimicrobial peptide was tested against oral pathogens associated with caries and periodontitis and compared with the activities of the human-derived antimicrobial peptides LL-37 and dhvar...

propolis has traditionally been used in curing infections and healing wounds and burns. current researches have shown that propolis has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral actions however, the pharmacological activity of propolis is highly variable depending on its geographic origin. there have been few studies on the effects of iranian propolis on the oral microorganisms. in this in-vitro ...

abstract   background and aim: due to the increasing use of restorative materials, finding a  suitable material with low adhesion rate and colonization of pathogenic  streptococcus mutans has a significant importance. the purpose of this study was the  comparison of the adhesion rate of streptococcus mutans to “nano-hybrid composite” and “amalgam” at 1, 3, and 7 day  intervals. methods and mate...

Background: Gastronomic natural flavors and spices have been used as both flavoring agents preservatives in food preparation for many years. They also utilized medical field their biological properties shown previous studies. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of oil extracts from Cloves, Thyme, Cinnamon compared with ampicillin on some oral bacteria (Staphylococcus au...
