Estudio de la actividad antimicrobiana de Xenophyllum poposum sobre microorganismos de la cavidad bucal por el método de difusión radial

Resumen En este estudio se evaluó la actividad antimicrobiana in vitro de extractos de Xenophyllum poposum sobre microorganismos bucales como Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus casei, Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces odontolyticus, Candida albicans y Veillonella sp. Se emple...

The Clinical Pattern and Prevalence of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus among Adult and Children Patients with Dental Caries

Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical pattern, host factors, and presentation of Streptococcus mutans related to caries incidence among children and adults visiting Universitas Airlangga dental clinic. Material and Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach with 50 p...

Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Effect of Hydrogel with Origanum vulgare on Culture of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus

The oral cavity is an ecosystem that provides ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria, the Streptococcus genus is important for the formation of biofilms that lead to the development of dental caries, which affects the population worldwide. The world health organization encourages the use of plants t...

Modeling the Growth of Bacteria Streptococcus sobrinus Using Exponential Regression

Abstract Objective: To build an exponential regression model based on parameter estimation. Material and Methods: We developed a simple mathematical model to simulate the growth of bacteria and the exponential growth is often used to model population growth as such cell growth while the exponential de...

Antimicrobial and anti-caries effect of new glass ionomer cement on enamel under microcosm biofilm model

Braz. dent. j; 29 (6), 2018
Abstract The occurrence of caries lesions adjacent to restorations is a serious problem in Dentistry. Therefore, new antimicrobial restorative materials could help to prevent recurrent carious lesions. This study evaluated the effect of a new glass ionomer cement (Ion Z) on the viability of a microcosm b...

Salivary density of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus and dental caries in children and adolescents with Down syndrome

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (3), 2017
Abstract Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are strongly associated with dental caries. However, the relationship between oral streptococci and dental caries in children with Down syndrome is not well characterized. Objective To assess and compare dental caries experience and salivary S. m...

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 ...

Experiência de cárie dentária e presença de estreptococos do grupo mutans em indivíduos com fissuras labio-palatinas: estudo transversal controlado

Este estudo transversal controlado comparou a experiência de cárie e a presença de estreptococos do grupo mutans em adolescentes e adultos jovens com fissura labial e/ou palatina (FL/P) com um grupo controle sem fissura. Verificou também a associação entre experiência de cárie dentária e variáv...

Anticariogenic activity of the active fraction from isertia laevis against S. mutans and S. sobrinus: comparison of two extraction methods

Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Dental caries is considered a multi-factorial, infectious, chronic, localized, post-eruptive, transmissible disease that leads to the destruction of dental hard tissue. The recognition of Streptococcus mutans as the major bacterial species involved in dental caries has led to the implementation of preven...

Hydrophobicity test in mutans Streptococci

Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Kinetic hydrophobic measurements were performed by confronting 40 mutans streptococci from thirty 10- to 20-year-old patients with 200 ml hexadecane (Sigma). Fourteen patients had high dental caries risk (Group A), dmft + DMFT >5 with 3 or more active caries, and 16 had low dental caries risk (Group B...
