This study was performed to verify the clinical effect of a mouthwash containing extract on the acid production of oral bacteria and bacteria involved in dental caries. A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 66 patients of the following groups: a extract gargle group ( = 34) and a saline solution gargle group ( = 32). According to the application time of a mouthwash (before gargle application, immediately after gargle application, and five days after gargle application), we examined the emergence of dental caries-causing bacteria by PCR analysis and changes in the amount of acid production in dental plaque through a Cariview test. As a result of verifying the effect of inhibiting and preventing dental caries in the oral environment, the dental caries-causing bacteria decreased in the extract gargle group compared to the saline gargle group. In particular, showed a marked decrease from immediately after application of gargle to 5 days after application. In addition, the mouthwash containing extract did not cause acid production and had low dental caries activity. A mouthwash containing extract, a natural substance, can be used as an anti-dental caries agent and be commercialized as an effective dental caries prevention agent that is safe for teeth and has an excellent antibacterial effect.

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.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.
Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of several antiseptic mouthwashes on the dentin microtensile bond strength of self-etch adhesive, considering the influence of rinsing with water.
Methods: Forty flat dentin surfaces were produced by sectioning sound extracted third molars. They were randomly divided into four main groups: (1) artificial saliva (control); (2) 1 % hydrogen peroxide; (3) 0.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The oral microbiota was investigated for distinguishable characteristics between GC, premalignant gastric conditions (Pre-GC), and control participants.
Methods: Mouthwash samples from GC, Pre-GC, and control participants at a tertiary care center were prospectively collected.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of andiz extract on wound healing and compare it with saline and chlorhexidine gluconate. Microbial DNA load was used to evaluate its antibacterial effects, and gene expression methods were used to assess its contribution to cytokine release and wound healing.
Methods And Results: A standardized wound site was created with a 3 mm diameter punch on 32 male Wistar albino rats.
