Antibacterial Inhibitory Effects of Gel on Cariogenic Bacteria: An Study.

Aim: This study evaluated the antibacterial effects of the formulated (PG) gel against and

Materials And Methods: The PG extract was dissolved in water at 500 mg/mL. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for identification and quantification of chemical marker punicalagin. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time-kill assay (TKA) were investigated.

The Antibacterial Effects of Apacaries Gel on Streptococcus mutans: An in vitro Study.

Background: New approaches for chemomechanical caries removal require effective materials with antibacterial properties for removal of infected dentin. Apacaries gel is a newly developed material comprised polyphenol from mangosteen extracts and papain mixed in gel preparation.

Aim: This study evaluated the antibacterial effects of Apacaries gel on Streptococcus mutans in vitro.
