“…VCO has antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces spp., Prevotella spp. and Cytomegalovirus [8,18,19]. In this study, the optical density value of VCO mousse 80% showed no statistically significant difference compared to the negative control.…”

Introduction: Early childhood caries is defined as the presence of one or more decayed teeth, missing (due to caries) or filled teeth surface in a child 71 months of age or younger. The presence of Candida albicans will increase caries pathogenicity. Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the antifungal effectiveness of virgin coconut oil (VCO) mousse against viability of C. albicans biofilm in children with early childhood caries. Material and methods: In this experimental laboratory study, C. albicans biofilm was exposed to three concentrations of VCO mousse, namely 0.8%, 8% and 80%. C. albicans biofilm viability was tested using crystal violet 0.5% and a colony forming unit assay. Statistical analysis was conducted using 1-way ANOVA. Results: VCO mousse 80% showed optical density and total viable colony count (CFU/ml) values significantly different compared to VCO mousse 0.8% and 8% (p < 0.05). Conclusions: VCO mousse exhibited antifungal effect against viability of C. albicans biofilm in children with early childhood caries.

“…Also, the presence of lauric acid inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Escherichia coli. Gayatri et al [ 21 ] proposed an in vitro experiment that tested the antibacterial effects of VCO on the bacterial viability of Actinomyces and Prevotella species that caused tooth discoloration in children, and it was concluded that 100% VCO significantly reduced the viability of Prevotella species. This outcome supported the efficiency of 100% VCO employed in the current study.…”

Background/objectives Disinfection of surgical guides is mandatory for intraoperative use. Virgin Coconut Oil may be a potent alternative disinfectant; however, its effect has not been fully discussed in dentistry. The objectives of this study were to compare the morphological and the volumetric dimensional changes of 3D printed surgical guides after immersion in three disinfectants: 100%Virgin Coconut Oil, 2% Glutaraldehyde, and 70% Ethyl Alcohol and to assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of the tested disinfectants. Materials and methods A surgical guide was designed using open platform software to print thirty guides and then cut them into two halves (N = 60). Pre-disinfection scans of the first half of the three study groups (n = 30) were performed using Cone-beam Computed Tomography, then immersed for 20 min in three disinfectants as follows: group VCO was immersed in 100% Virgin Coconut Oil, group GA was immersed in 2% Glutaraldehyde, and group EA was immersed in 70% Ethyl Alcohol. Post-disinfection scans of the first half of the three study groups (n = 30) were performed and then compared morphologically and volumetrically using an analyzing software program The second half of the three control groups (n* = 30) were soaked for 20 min in sterile distilled water as follows: group VCO*, group GA*, and group EA* for the assessment of the antimicrobial effectiveness of the three tested disinfectants. Results At the morphological assessment of the dimensional changes, group VCO were the most accurate with the lowest mean deviation value of 0.12 ± 0.02 mm and root mean square value of 0.12 mm, group GA and group EA were less accurate with mean deviation value of = 0.22 ± 0.05 mm and = 0.19 ± 0.03 mm and root mean square value of 0.22 and 0.20 respectively (p < 0.001). At the volumetric assessment, group VCO showed lower volumetric changes with a mean deviation value of 0.17 ± 0.10 mm, root mean square value of 0.19 mm, than group GA with mean deviation value of 0.23 ± 0.10 mm, root mean square value of 0.25 mm and group EA with mean deviation value of 0.27 ± 0.11 mm, root mean square value of 0.29 mm, however, no statistically significant differences were found between the three study groups (p = 0.10). The antimicrobial effectiveness of the three tested disinfectants showed a hundred percent (100%) reduction in the total microbial count in the first half of the three study groups treated with the three disinfectants revealing no bacterial growth, however, statistically significant differences were found between the second half of the three control and the first half of the three study groups. (p < 0.001). Conclusions Virgin Coconut Oil showed higher morphological dimensional accuracy of the tested surgical guides than Glutaraldehyde and Ethyl Alcohol without causing any volumetric dimensional changes in the 3D printed surgical guides after disinfection for 20 min and the antimicrobial effectiveness was the same between the three tested disinfectants without showing any microbial growth.

“…Consequently, patients meeting the diagnostic criteria were considered "cases, " whereas those who do not were considered "controls" or "comparators. " However, since the tendency of BS to recur is a well-documented phenomenon [5], children who might have received recent treatment for BS, could have been easily misplaced into control groups, as none of the studies reported inquiring about the past history of BS presence. It should be noted that a biased detection of the participants' status constitutes as bias, could possibly influence the study results [39].…”

“…It affects both adults and children but is more commonly seen in children [3]. Despite not being associated with any functional impairment, it has constantly been regarded as a source of esthetic concern for children and their families [4], all the more because of its high recurrence tendency [5].…”

Background Previous literature shows that children with dental black stain might be less susceptible to dental caries. The aim of this study was to systematically review the available literature to determine whether black stain presence could influence the prevalence or severity of dental caries in primary dentition. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and Egyptian Universities Libraries Consortium was conducted up to December 2020. Quality assessment was done using a modified version of Down’s and Black checklist. Meta-analyses were performed to assess the association between dental black stain and: (i) Likelihood of developing dental caries/being caries-free (ii) Number of teeth affected by dental caries (iii) Number of tooth surfaces affected. Results The database search yielded 2164 results, 14 of which matched the eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis showed that the likelihood of developing caries (Fixed effect model: OR [95% CI]: 0.67 [0.54; 0.82]; I2=37%; τ2=0.05), number of teeth affected (Random effects model: MD [95% CI]: –0.98 [–1.54; -0.42]; I2=79%; τ2 =0.44), and number of surfaces affected (Random-effects model: MD [95% CI]: –2.34 [–4.23; -0.44]; I2=85%; τ2 =2.93), were all lower in children with black stain. Conclusions It is suggested that dental black stain is associated with lower dental caries experience in children with primary dentition. However, it is questionable whether black stain has a protective effect against dental caries, or whether children at low risk of dental caries are more likely to develop BS because their oral microbiome favors BS-forming organisms.
