Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial effect of low- and high-viscosity experimental mouthrinses containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and 4-isopropyl-3-methylphenol (IPMP) on Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans.
Methods: Low- and high-viscosity experimental mouthrinses containing 0.05% CPC and 0.
Purpose: The mechanical properties, antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility of a novel antimicrobial tissue conditioner containing cetylpyridinium chloride with montmorillonite (CPC-Mont) were evaluated.
Methods: To examine the mechanical properties of the novel material, hardness, consistency, and penetration tests were conducted. Antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans (C.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing dental adhesives with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), an antibacterial agent, by incorporating it into a clay mineral called montmorillonite (CPC_Mont) for long-term effectiveness against tooth caries.
- CPC_Mont adhesives demonstrated significant antibacterial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans, a primary bacteria involved in tooth decay, while maintaining strong bonding capabilities and not increasing cytotoxicity.
- The technology allows for a gradual and rechargeable release of CPC, making it a promising solution for improving dental materials and combating the prevalence of dental caries.
