Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus plantarum mouthwash on the progression of caries in isolated teeth.Methods Human isolated teeth were infected with Streptococcus mutans solution,and treated with saline,commercial mouth-wash,and Lactobacillus plantarum mouthwash,respectively,for 28 days.Tooth changes were recorded to assess their inhibitory effect on caries progression by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.Results Lactobacillus plantarum had an inhibitory effect on caries progression,with significant effects on deep dentinal caries in pit and fissure,and similar efficacy to commercial mouthwash on smooth surface caries.Calcium loss in dentin tubules was observed under an electron microscope,with Lactobacillus plantarum group less than commercial group and saline group.Conclusion Lactobacillus plantarum mouthwash can inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans and effectively prevent caries,particularly in controlling the progression of deep pit and fissure caries.
