IN VITRO STUDY OF ANTIBACTERIAL ORAL CAPACITY THROUGH FIVE MOUTHWASHES
Abstract:
The mouthwashes effectiveness containing essential oils or antiplaque substances has been demonstrated in numerous studies. By our study we aimed at highlighting in vitro ability of new mouthwashes. Methods. Microbial agents deployed in dental plaque were seeded on specific culture media for Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus and Candida albicans. From the colonies developed we implemented in a liquid culture medium, a standard number of pathogens that were maintained for 1-3 and 5 minutes contact with the studied mouthwashes. After the contact period the samples were again seeded in appropriate culture media and incubated for 48 hours at 27 °C. Results. Cultures obtained were interpreted according to the development of microbial / fungal thus, establishing antiseptic rinses in control of microflora. Conclusions. Recommendations of mouthwashes are desirable to take into account the disease we want to fight with, for their antimicrobial effect and some possible adverse effects
