Determination of the antibiofilm property of aqueous extract of the on some early and late colonizers in an artificially synthesized dental biofilm - An study.

Background: Mechanical therapy along with adjunctive therapy, using agents like chlorhexidine digluconate mouthwash helps to disrupt the plaque biofilm. Recently, herbs with medicinal value have been tested for their antimicrobial properties. The present study was designed to assess the anti-biofilm activity of against some periodontal pathogens in an artificially synthesized dental biofilm.

Determination and comparison of antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of on periodontal pathogens: An study.

Background: People globally are turning to herbal products to reconnect with nature. Cost efficacy and minimal side effects are the reasons for this changeover. This study assessed the effect of as an antimicrobial agent against .

Detection and comparison of prevalence of through culture and Real Time-polymerase chain reaction in subgingival plaque samples of chronic periodontitis and healthy individuals.

Introduction: The micro-flora of oral cavity is a myriad of micro-organism. Any infection of oral cavity leads to diseased condition which is a transitional transformation of the micro-organism in a specific paradigm depending upon the diseased condition. Periodontitis is one of the predominant chronic diseases which is a multifactorial infection.

Coculture method for cultivation of uncultured oral bacteria.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to culture uncultured oral bacteria with helper strains using the coculture method from the subgingival plaque samples of chronic periodontitis patients.

Materials And Methods: The samples were processed and inoculated on a blood agar medium enriched with hemin and Vitamin K. A helper strain (ATCC 6919) was cross-streaked across the inoculums to facilitate coculture.

Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of oral gram negative anaerobes from Indian subjects.

Objectives: There is paucity of information on the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of oral anaerobic bacteria. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance trend of oral Gram negative bacteria from Indian subjects.

Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 304 isolates against twelve different antibiotics were determined using gradient diffusion MIC strips.

Comparison of cluster analysis of by arbitrarily primed-polymerase chain reaction between healthy and chronic periodontitis subjects.

Introduction: Periodontitis is a chronic destructive inflammatory disease of the oral cavity. The main causative agent is presence of biofilm formed due to different micro-organisms. Among different micro- organisms "red complex" bacteria is known to be the main causative agent in progression of periodontitis.

Culture-based identification of pigmented Porphyromonas and Prevotella species in primary endodontic infections.

Background. The most common species isolated from primary endodontic infections are black-pigmented bacteria. These species are implicated in apical abscess formation due to their proteolytic activity and are fastidious in nature.
