Atividade antimicrobiana in vitro das folhas de araçá (Psidium cattleianum Sabine) contra micro-organismos da mucosa oral

Introdução: A espécie Psidium cattleianum Sabine tem despertado o interesse dos pesquisadores por apresentar, além de atividade cicatrizante, analgésica e antioxidante, propriedades antimicrobianas frente a micro-organismos da mucosa oral que podem atuar como agentes cariogênicos. Objetivo: Foi av...

Effect of dietary sugars on dual-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus – a pilot study

Introduction: Frequent consumption of sugars and the presence of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are correlated with higher caries experience. Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to elucidate the effect of different fermentable carbohydrates on biomass formation and acidogenicity ...

Influencia de concentrações subinibitórias de agentes antimicrobianos sobre a fisiologia e genética de S. mutans

Streptococcus mutans é conhecido por sua capacidade de aderir, colonizar e formar biofilme nas superfícies dentárias. Para sobreviver na cavidade bucal, S. mutans coordena a expressão de vários genes em resposta aos fatores ambientais, como na presença de agentes antimicrobianos. Os objetivos deste...

Clinical effect of photodynamic therapy on primary carious dentin after partial caries removal

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract This study was conducted to assess the clinical effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the decontamination of the deep dentin of deciduous molars submitted to partial removal of carious tissue. After cavity preparation, dentin samples were taken from the pulp wall of nineteen deciduous molars b...

Enamel and dentine demineralization by a combination of starch and sucrose in a biofilm - caries model

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Sucrose is the most cariogenic dietary carbohydrate and starch is considered non-cariogenic for enamel and moderately cariogenic for dentine. However, the cariogenicity of the combination of starch and sucrose remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of this combination ...

Objetivo: Avaliar a ação antimicrobiana de cremes dentais infantis do mercado brasileiro. Métodos: Estudo laboratorial realizado em uma universidade de Fortaleza/CE, em 2014, utilizou 12 placas de Petri com meios de cultura Muller Hinton para Streptococcus mutans e Agar Sabouraud para Candida albicans...

Sterilizing elastomeric chains without losing mechanical properties. Is it possible?

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different sterilization/disinfection methods on the mechanical properties of orthodontic elastomeric chains. METHODS: Segments of elastomeric chains with 5 links each were sent for sterilization by cobalt 60 (Co60) (20 KGy) gamma ray technology. After the procedur...

Differential reactivity of salivary igA and igG against streptococcus mutans proteins in humans with different caries experience

Acta odontol. latinoam; 28 (1), 2015
Dental caries is an infectious disease which still constitutes a public health concern. It begins at an early age and is caused mainly Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The aim of this study was to characterize the salivary humor immune response to S. mutans proteins in patients with caries, with history...

Incorporation of disinfectants for obtaining dental stone: microbiological and dimensional evaluation

Aim: To assess dimensional change and antimicrobial activity of disinfectants substances incorporated during the dental stone manipulation. Material and Method: In vivo - microorganisms were collected in alginate molds of 30 volunteers inoculated on BHI agar and incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours. The mold...
