The potential use of propolis as a cariostatic agent and its actions on mutans group streptococci

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2009
Propolis is a resinous substance made by bees. It possesses many biological activities, and many studies have reported its potential application in the control of dental caries. However, variability in the chemical composition of propolis is a potential problem in its quality control, especially since propolis has already been incorporated into ...

Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans polysaccharide synthesis by molecules targeting glycosyltransferase activity

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2016
Glycosyltransferase (Gtf) is one of the crucial virulence factors of Streptococcus mutans, a major etiological pathogen of dental caries. All the available evidence indicates that extracellular polysaccharide, particularly glucans produced by S.

Updated consumer risk assessment of fluoride in food and drinking water including the contribution from other sources of oral exposure

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This updated risk assessment evaluated evidence on potential adverse health effects of fluoride related to all sources of oral exposure as mandated by the European Commission. Fluoride benefit assessment was not included. Effects on the central nervous system, thyroid and bone were prioritised.

Acid‐Resistant Glass Ionomer Cements: An Assessment of Their Mechanical Properties, Fluoride Ion Release and Protection to Surrounding Tooth Surfaces From Acid Challenges

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT New acid‐resistant glass ionomer cements (GIC) claim to be able to withstand acidic conditions while also protecting surrounding tooth structures and preserving function. Currently, there are only a few studies that assessed mechanical properties, ion release, and changes that occur around an acid‐resistant GIC–dentine bonded interface under ...
