Antifungal Efficacy of Essential Oil in Tissue Conditioner Against : An Study.

Unlabelled: Tissue conditioner is used to condition inflamed mucosa induced by denture stomatitis. However, the drawback of the aging tissue conditioner is increased surface roughness, thus enhance microbial adhesion. Ocimum basilicum is known for its antimicrobial effects but its use in liners has not been investigated.

The antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of allicin against and - A therapeutic potential for denture stomatitis.

The objective of this study is to determine the therapeutic efficacy of allicin against and (), the common etiological agents for denture stomatitis (DS). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs), minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFCs) of allicin were determined by the broth microdilution method followed by checkerboard microdilution method for a synergistic interaction between allicin + nystatin and allicin + CHX. The potential of allicin to eradicate and biofilms was assessed by treating biofilm formed on self- polymerized acrylic resin with allicin at a sub-MIC concentration for 5 min.

A systematic review on antibacterial activity of zinc against .

Objectives: The aim of this study was to systematically review the growth inhibition effectiveness of zinc against s. The main question was, "Does the zinc inhibit the growth of oral in vitro?

Methods: Literature search on PubMed, Medline, and science direct databases was carried out for in vitro studies published in English from 1990 to 2016, and the reported outcomes of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC), zone of inhibition (ZOI) and bacterial count method using colony forming unit (CFU) were used to assess the antibacterial effectiveness of zinc.

Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review.
