Hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) reduces the durability of composite resin restorations on caries-affected dentin (CAD). The use of MMP inhibitors such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) could increase the longevity of the bond to dentin. This study aimed to
This study compared the in vitro responses of malignant and normal cells from the human oral cavity to tea extracts and to its main polyphenolic component, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The antiproliferative effects of tea polyphenolic extracts and EGCG were more pronounced towards
BACKGROUND
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a flavonoid extracted from green tea that demonstrated antimicrobial activity.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of EGCG 0.5%, 1%, and 2% concentrations as an antimicrobial solution in dentin caries-like lesions induced in a bacterial-based in vitro
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the main etiological bacteria present in the oral cavity that leads to dental caries. All of the S. mutans in the oral cavity form biofilms that adhere to the surfaces of teeth. Dental caries are infections facilitated by the development of biofilm. An esterified
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and c-Met have recently attracted a great deal of attention as prognostic indicators of patient outcome, and they are important in the control of tumor growth and invasion. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been shown to modulate multiple signal pathways in a
The probable structure of the inclusion complex of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in D2O was investigated using several NMR techniques. EGCg formed a 1:1 complex with beta-CD, in which the A ring and a portion of the C ring of EGCg were included at the head of
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to assess the null hypothesis that the astringency and loss of lubrication in the oral cavity are not related to the properties of the epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) adlayer, the affinity and the entropy-drive of EGCG binding to saliva.
METHODS
The mass,
We attempted to identify mouse bitter taste receptors, Tas2rs, that respond to tea catechins. Among representative tea catechins, avoidance behavior of mice to (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) was the strongest, followed by (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Therefore, we measured ECg response using
The structure of inclusion complexes of gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD), (-)-gallocatechin gallate (GCg), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in D(2)O was investigated using several NMR techniques. GCg formed a 1:1 inclusion complex with gamma-CD in which the A and C rings of GCg were inserted
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the acid resistance of various antibacterial ammonium hexafluorosilicate (SiF) solutions.
METHODS
Antibacterial SiF solutions were prepared with the addition of chlorhexidine (CHX), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), isopropyl methylphenol (IPMP), or epigallocatechin gallate
In this work, the interaction of a bioactive tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with bovine hemoglobin (BHb) along with its anti-oxidative behavior and the anti-glycation property have been explored using multi-spectroscopic and computational techniques. The binding affinity for EGCG
The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of protease inhibitors on degradation of sound, sclerotic and caries-affected dentin. Thirty-nine molars were used, thirteen for each dentin condition. Three slices were obtained from each tooth, each one immersed in the following different solutions
OBJECTIVE
Fluoride and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) have been proven to prevent dental caries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fluoride and EGCG on soft-drink-induced dental erosion in vitro.
METHODS
Forty enamel and dentin specimens were prepared from extracted human
This study evaluated the biologic activity of epicatechin gallate (ECG), a polyphenol in tea, to carcinoma HSC-2 cells and normal HGF-2 fibroblasts cells from the human oral cavity. The relative cytotoxicity of ECG, as compared to five other polyphenols in tea, was evaluated. For the HSC-2 carcinoma
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on aging-mediated cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and apoptosis. The Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 18). Group I: young (3 months), group II: aged (24-26 months), group III: aged + EGCG
