anthrone/dental caries

The objective of the study was to compare aciduricity (ability, to live in acid), acidogenicity (ability to produce acid), and intracellular polysaccharide production of mutans streptococci (MS) strains isolated from caries-active (CA, with one or more cavitated lesions) and caries-free (CF, with no

Sucrose, extracellular polysaccharide, and glucosyltransferases (GTFs) are key factors in sucrose-dependent adhesion and play important roles in the process of severe early-childhood caries (S-ECC). However, whether sucrose concentration regulates gtf expression, extracellular polysaccharide

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) sites in 45 clinical Streptococcus mutans strains and their relationship to the clinical manifestations of early childhood caries (ECC). METHODS Forty-five S.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of lemon peel essential oil (LPE) on the cariogenicity of Streptococcus sobrinus (Ss). METHODS LPE was extracted by the authors, and the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) was measured by disc diffusion method. The LPE was used as the experimental group

Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) has been proved to crucial cariogenic pathogens. Antisense vicR RNA reduced the transcription of virulence genes and lead to a reduction in biofilm formation. In the current study, a graphene-oxide plasmid transformation system was developed using interacted

Dental caries is a chronic progressive disease occurring in the tooth hard tissue due to multiple factors, in which bacteria are the initial cause. Both Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis are main members of oral biofilm. Helicobacter pylori may also be detected in dental plaque,

UNASSIGNED In this postfluoride era, the concentration of fermentable carbohydrate in saliva after food intake is important to determine the risk of developing dental caries. UNASSIGNED The aim of this study is to estimate the total carbohydrate content of salivary expectorants following consumption

The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of extracellular plaque fluid was measured by potassium dichromate method. Micro-anthrone method and high performance liquid chromatography were used for measuring the carbohydrate content in the fluid. Immunochemistry system was used for measuring IgG and IgA

BACKGROUND Fermentable carbohydrates and microorganisms in the plaque play a significant role in the pathogenesis of dental caries. Oral clearance of sugars and salivary pH is affected by the presence of plaque. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to study the effect of the presence of plaque on the

BACKGROUND The prevalence of dental caries in children, in India, is higher than many of the industrialized countries. The sugar most commonly associated with dental caries is sucrose, as the microorganisms in the dental plaque have the ability to convert this dietary constituent into various

The present study aimed at investigating the influence of norspermidine on the formation of dual-species biofilms composed of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis). Crystal violet assay was conducted to assess the formation of

Antibacterial adhesives have favorable prospects to inhibit biofilms and secondary caries. The objectives of this study were to investigate the antibacterial effect of dental adhesives containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) on different bacteria in controlled multispecies biofilms and
