“…Due to the interest of dental professionals, many clinical trials have been performed with promising results. Whereas washing with water and neutral soap proved to be the most efficient protocol against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms on the maxillofacial silicone polymer, Cymbopogon nardus (citronella grass) and Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) are also efficaces [20]. Ribes nigrum (blackcurrant) and Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorns) juices may reduce the risks for both tooth decay and gingivitis, by inhibition of bacterial grow [21] and by their anti-inflammatory effect [22].…”

Bacterial Pathogenesis and Antibacterial Control

Medicinal plants have been widely used in the management of infectious diseases and by now, many of the ancient remedies have proven their value through scientific methodologies. Although the mechanisms underlying most plant-derived remedies are not well understood, the success of herbal medicine in curing infectious diseases shows that many plants have beneficial effects in various bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections. The modern methodologies in the isolation, purification and characterization of the active compounds, has been a great impact for advancing in vitro and in vivo research, this step being crucial for further application in clinical trials. Many plant-derived compounds, for example, quinine and artemisinin, have been already successfully used in healing lifethreatening infectious disease. The main limitations of plant medicine healing are lack of standardization and reproducibility of plant-derived products. Despite the paucity of clinical trials evaluating their efficacy, phytotherapy, adult plant uses and gemmotherapy, the use of embryonic stem cells should be reconsidered as valuable resources in finding new active compounds with sustained antimicrobial activity.

“…Therefore, investigation of new chemical compounds challenging microbial pathogens is a key need. A variety of chemical compounds have been extracted from plants such as flavonoids, quinones, terpenoids, tannins, coumarins, saponins, steroids, glycosides and alkaloids can affect bacterial infections and/or also as antibacterial agents [35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the most prevalent mosquitoes particularly in the Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, transmitting numerous diseases such as arboviruses, avian malaria, elephantiasis, dirofilariasis, and encephalitis. Worldwide, Culex pipiens has developed resistance to numerous insecticides; therefore, considerable efforts have been done to introduce new mosquito control candidates. Due to their unique physical, biological, and eco-friendly properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently considered as promising agents in controlling a variety of organisms. Six aminopyridinium-based ionic liquids (IL1-IL6) were assayed against eggs and pupae of C. pipiens. Percentages of non-hatched eggs, nonemerged pupae, the lethal concentrations (LC 50 and LC 90) of both C. pipiens eggs and pupae were recorded. after exposure, to different ILs. The effects of ILs against eggs and pupae were concentration and IL-dependant. The percentages of egg unhatchability were much higher than those of pupal mortality, as the percentage of egg unhatchability reached 99% after treatment with IL6 at 0.5 g/L, while the percentage of pupal mortality reached 40.8% after treatment with IL4 at 0.5 g/L. The LC 50 and LC 90 of ILs against pupae were much higher than those of ILs against eggs. Effects of ILs on Staphylococcus aureus (Bacillales: Staphylococcaceae) and Escherichia coli (Entrobacterales: Entrobacteriaceae) were also studied; some ILs showed a considerable effect on both bacteria species. This is the first study to show the ovicidal, pupicidal, and bactericidal effects of aminopyridinium-based ILs in controlling C. pipiens, S. aureus, and E. coli.

“…These defects or deformities are usually caused by cancer, traumatic accidents or congenital diseases and may affect speech, quality of speech, quality of life, psychology and social behavior. Deterioration of the prostheses is usually caused by environmental exposure namely ultraviolet (UV) light, air pollution and changes in humidity and temperature; and by handling, cleaning and removal of the prosthesis [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Research shows that these prostheses generally last 13 to 28 months [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of plant based antimicrobial solutions specifically tea tree and Manuka oil on facial silicone elastomers. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of disinfection with plant extract solution on mechanical properties and morphology on the silicone elastomer. Test specimens were subjected to disinfection using tea tree oil, Manuka oil and the staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. Furthermore, a procedure duration was used in the disinfection process to simulate up to one year of usage. Over 500 test specimens were fabricated for all tests performed namely hardness, elongation, tensile, tear strength tests, visual inspection and lastly surface characterization using SEM. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed that hardness and elongation at break varied significantly over the time period, whereas this was not observed in the tear and tensile strength parameters of the test samples.
