Enhanced Anti-Bacterial Activity of Arachidonic Acid against the Cariogenic Bacterium in Combination with Triclosan and Fluoride.

Dental caries is a global health problem that requires better prevention measures. One of the goals is to reduce the prevalence of the cariogenic Gram-positive bacterium . We have recently shown that naturally occurring arachidonic acid (AA) has both anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities against this bacterium.

The association between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders diagnosis and disease characteristics.

Background: The association between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has been contentious in the literature.

Objectives: To analyse the associations between orthodontic treatment and TMD diagnosis and diseases characteristics.

Methods: This case-control study included 291 individuals, 192 TMDs and 99 controls.

The consequences of orthodontic extrusion on previously intruded permanent incisors-A retrospective study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the adverse effects that occur after orthodontic extrusion of teeth that have been traumatically intruded with those of similar teeth that have not experienced any trauma.

Background: The outcome of incisors intrusion can be affected by the patient's age, extent of injury, root development, and malocclusion. Orthodontic extrusion is a potential solution, but it may also cause complications.

Improved Anti-Biofilm Effect against the Oral Cariogenic by Combined Triclosan/CBD Treatment.

is a Gram-positive bacterium highly associated with dental caries, and it has a strong biofilm-forming ability, especially in a sugar-rich environment. Many strategies have been undertaken to prevent dental caries by targeting these bacteria. Recently, we observed that a sustained-release varnish containing triclosan and cannabidiol (CBD) was more efficient than each compound alone in preventing biofilm formation by the fungus , which is frequently involved in oral infections together with .

Anti-Bacterial Effect of Cannabidiol against the Cariogenic Bacterium: An In Vitro Study.

Dental caries is caused by biofilm-forming acidogenic bacteria, especially , and is still one of the most prevalent human bacterial diseases. The potential use of cannabidiol (CBD) in anti-bacterial therapies has recently emerged. Here we have studied the anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activity of CBD against .
