Development and Formulation of the Experimental Dentifrice Based onPassiflora mollissima(Tumbo) with and without Fluoride Anion: Antibacterial Activity on Seven Antimicrobial Strains

Abstract

Objectives. To develop and formulate a new experimental dentifrice with and without fluoride based on the peel and the fruit of thePassiflora mollissima(tumbo) and also to evaluate its antimicrobial activity against seven bacterial strains.Methods. The sample was calculated using the mean comparison formula, obtaining wells (n = 12) for each of the strains evaluated:S. mutans,E. faecalis,Actinomyces,Lactobacillus,C. albicans,S. sanguinis, andS. oralis. The antibacterial activity of the dentifrice was evaluated by the direct contact technique.Results. It was found that the highest antimicrobial activity was only present in pulp-based dentifrices against strains ofS. mutans21.0 ± 1.8,E. faecalis16.3 ± 3.9,Actinomyces22.1 ± 1.3, andLactobacillus21.0 ± 1.3. However, in comparison with other strains such asC. albicans,S. sanguinis, andS. oralis, the peel-based dendrifrice ofPassiflora mollissimaobtained the highest antimicrobial activity.Conclusion. The experimental dentifrice based onPassiflora mollissimahad an antibacterial effect against the seven microbial strains during the first 24 and 48 hours.

Antifungal efficacy of four different concentrations of the essential oil of Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Canela) against Candida albicans: An in vitro study

“…Direct observation was made, and the measurement of the inhibitory halo (Kirby–Bauer method)[ 6 8 9 10 ] of four concentrations at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the EOC and nystatin on strains of Candida albicans ATCC 10231 was taken; the data obtained was recorded in a data collection sheet where the inhibition halos measurements in millimeters, formed in each of the discs embedded with the EOC. In the period of 24 and 48h of having made the sowing, the readings and filling of the collection sheet were made, taking into account the identification of the sample, identification of the concentration used, and the measurement in millimeters of the halo of inhibition formed [ Figure 2 ].…”

Antibacterial Effectiveness of Four Concentrations of the Hydroalcoholic Extract of Solanum tuberosum (Tocosh) against Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175TM: A Comparative In Vitro Study

“…In order to develop a product that may be used to prevent the appearance of dental caries in the high Andean population, knowledge of the biodiversity of different climates in Peru favoring the cultivation of natural products that can be used to solve this problem is necessary [ 2 , 4 ]. In this regard, the use of Solanum tuberosum “ tocosh ,” a potato fermented through a process of water stress, that is native to and traditionally used in the Andean areas of Peru, may be a possible new therapeutic alternative.…”

Comparison of the Antibacterial Activity of the Ethanol Extract vs Hydroalcoholic Extract of the Leaves of Mangifera indica L. (Mango) in Different Concentrations: An In Vitro Study

“…On the other hand, traditional medicine and phytotherapy has been gaining increasing strength since a wide variety of plants show that they have biological properties for the different conditions that man presents, so there is a great empirical source of active ingredients, it is convenient to clarify those properties. [1][2][3][4] Currently, bacterial resistance against antibiotics has been increasing, resulting in a worldwide concern since mild infections cannot be controlled. This caused by the inappropriate and excessive use of drugs in addition to deficiencies in the prevention and control of infections.…”
