OBJECTIVE
Because caries activity may be related to dental plaque acidogenicity, a method was developed for chairside evaluation of pH-lowering activity and lactic acid production by dental plaque. Moreover, this study examined the association of these 2 factors with caries experience on oral
Previous studies have demonstrated that the presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), especially those classified into the genus Lactobacillus, is associated with the progression of dental caries in preschool children. Nevertheless, the kinds of species of LAB and the characteristics that are
Adhesion to oral soft and hard tissue is crucial for bacterial colonisation in the mouth. The aim of this work was to select strains of oral lactic acid bacteria that could be used as probiotics for oral health. To this end, the adhesive properties of some lactic acid bacteria were investigated.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of Wi-Fi and lactic acid bacteria on salivary mutans streptococci and caries formation.
METHODS
Wistar rats and their offspring were equally divided into two main groups and seven subgroups. Experimental groups were exposed to Wi-Fi during pregnancy and lactation.
In cultures of dental plaque taken from healthy dental surfaces of children susceptible to caries and children free from caries, the lactic acid content was determined. The cultures had an initial germ count of between 10(3) and 10(4) organisms per ml. After the cultures had been kept in artifical
Investigations carried out by the authors have disclosed that practically all infants discharged from maternity clinics are S. aureus carriers, and 91.66-97.06% of them have proved to be epidemiologically dangerous as the source of infection. The use of lactic-acid bacteria, strain 317/407 "Narine"
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the lactic acid concentration in supragingival plaque from caries-active pre-school children after a short-term use of either xylitol- or sorbitol-containing chewing gums.
METHODS
The investigation consisted of a prospective crossover design with 10
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) might offer opportunities as oral probiotics provided candidate strains persist in the mouth. After intake of a mixture of 69 LAB, strains of Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus salivarius were especially recovered. Coaggregation with other microbes is likely not a
Specific activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) dependency in the small amount of plaque formed on deciduous teeth were determined and compared between those from carious lesions and from sound surfaces. Although the caries-associated plaque showed a higher
The aims of the present study were to screen and characterize the antimicrobial lactic acid bacteria which were isolated from healthy oral cavities of Thai volunteers, and to characterize their inhibiting substances. Among 3790 isolates (suspected to be lactic acid bacteria) from 130 volunteers,
Biologically relevant hydrophilic molecules rarely interact with hydrophobic compounds and surfaces in water owing to effective hydration. Nevertheless, herein we report that the hydrophobic cavity of a polyaromatic capsule, formed through coordination-driven self-assembly, can encapsulate
The lipid content and composition of these pellicles and the effect of lipids on their ability to retard the diffusion of lactic acid were investigated. Lipids accounted for 22.4% of the dry weight of caries-resistant enamel pellicle and 19.2% of caries-resistant cementum pellicle; the pellicle of
During investigation of adhesive properties of lactic acid bacteria it was found out that 11 strains adhered to buccal intestinal and vaginal epithelium of human. The highest adhesive activity was detected in enterococci (adhesive index 7.75-14.26), lower one--in streptococci (6.40-9.16). In
The oral environment contains many different types of microorganisms, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive cocci, bacilli, and spirochetes. From the ecological point of view, the oral cavity is a perfect niche for certain bacteria such as lactobacilli because they interact, forming
