Bactericidal and anti-biofilm properties against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus of rhinacanthin-C isolated from Rhinacanthus nasutus [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2023 Although chlorhexidine (CHX) is commonly used as a standard antiseptic treatment in the oral cavity, its potent cytotoxicity on human periodontal tissues has been reported. Natural anti-biofilm medications could be therefore used as alternatives.
