“…Dental caries is associated with persistent biofilms composed of mainly streptococci and lactobacilli, with S. mutans considered a primary causative agent [2, 7, 10, 49-51]. Thus, the eradication of cariogenic S. mutans biofilms is important for the treatment of dental caries.…”

“…These local sites of depressed pH should permit conversion of nitrite to antibacterial NO, resulting in inhibition of acidogenic bacteria such as S. mutans. In vitro studies have demonstrated the bactericidal effect of acidified nitrite (NO) on S. mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii and Lactobacillus casei, and also found that nitrite should select against acidogenic bacteria; this would be expected to lead to a reduced incidence of dental caries [Silva Mendez et al, 1999;Radcliffe et al, 2002].…”

“…NO, being a highly reactive radical, participates in the nonspecific natural defense mechanisms of the oral cavity to prevent bacteria from overgrowing. Some in vitro studies [Silva Mendez et al, 1999;Carossa et al, 2001;Radcliffe et al, 2002] demonstrated the possibility that salivary nitrite under acidic condition has an inhibitory effect on growth and survival of cariogenic bacteria.…”

“…Em ambientes com alta concentração de açúcares, competições entre bactérias acidúricas e acidogênicas proporcionam uma desregulação ecológica [4]. A persistência de baixos valores de pH por longo períodos causam perda mineral e destruição de estruturas dentárias com formação de cavidades [4][5][6].…”

A persistência de baixos valores de pH por longo períodos causam perda mineral e destruição de estruturas dentárias com formação de cavidades [4][5][6]. Estreptococos, principalmente do grupo mutans (Streptococcus mutans -S. mutans) é largamente conhecido pela sua ligação com a etiologia e progressão da cárie dentária [3,5].…”
