Inhibitory effect of cyclodextran on the induction of dental caries by Streptococcus mutans

Journal of Functional Foods
Cyclodextrans (CIs) are cycloisomaltooligosaccharides that are known to function as dextran analogues and are possible inhibitors of dental plaque formation. CIs have a structure in which 7 to 12 glucose molecules are cyclically linked by α-1,6 bonds. We

Chocolate mouth rinse: Effect on plaque accumulation and mutans streptococci counts when used by children

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2008
Background: Glucosyltransferases (GTF) play an important role in the adherence of bacteria to acquired pellicle. Cocoa bean husk extract (CBHE) has been shown to possess anti-glucosyltransferase and antibacterial activity.
