part of day to day life. Similarly, chamomile tea is known for its asprin like properties. Beneficial effects of these tea include such as protection against dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss and found that can a decrease in streptococcus mutans count as well as increase in pH. Hence the present study was done to compare the pH of saliva and plaque, before and after the intake of green tea and to evaluate the role of green tea and chamomile tea on growth of s.mutans in culture using

Chapter 1 Early childhood caries (ECC), which is commonly known as tooth decay among children younger than 6 years of age, is currently affecting nearly half of the United States 5-year-olds, despite it being highly preventable (Hirsch, Edelstein, Frosh, Anselmo, 2012). No mother wants their children to be prone to dental decay or make them suffer from this disease if it is not necessary. According to Kawashita, Kitamura, Saito, and Corporation (2011), “Children experiencing caries as infants or

An ideal restorative material should have a property of adhesion to tooth structure and an ability to withstand the occlusal forces. However, some therapeutic and caries preventing efficacy might be desirable. Glass ionomer cement has been shown to produce some degree of antibacterial effect due to release of fluoride [3]. Several studies have been done to increase the antimicrobial effect of GIC without compromising the physical properties of the restoration. Takahashi Y [4] in 2006 and Tuzuner

dental health (as it is said to be non-cariogenic in comparison to Sucrose) in helping the reduction of caries to a third as well as being beneficial for remineralization, can be used by mothers to prevent the spread of bacterial infections such as MS (Mutans Streptococci) and the formation of caries in neonatal teeth. Caries, also known as tooth decay or

A 2-year-old golden retriever named Luna died in Wisconsin last week after ingesting sugar-free gum. Xylitol — an ingredient in the gum that’s also commonly found in baked goods, toothpaste and vitamins — caused severe liver damage in Luna, and the dog was put down. Luna isn’t the first dog to die from ingesting xylitol. As the natural sweetener as grown in popularity, veterinarians have reported more cases of poisonings. In addition to being found in food items and dental products, xylitol can

Christina Cox Your Life as a Microbe project September 1, 2016: My name is strep. Streptococcus Mutans to be exact. I live in a diverse community but my family make up about twenty percent of the world we live in. Our home is called mouth. We have lived here for as long as I can remember. From what I have been told we lived here before there were even homes for us. As a baby our host was kissed by a caregiver who transferred my family to our host. I wasn’t around yet but I hear we had to live down

The first step in any bacterial infection involves the attachment of bacteria to the host surface, which followed by colonisation, and infection. Streptococcus pneumonia is a significant human pathogenic bacterium; organism causes invasive diseases such as sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia and some more disease in human. In pneumonia it attaches to nasopharyngeal cells through interaction of bacterial surface adhesins. Tao Wang et al (47) reported that Big Domain ( bacterial immunoglobulin like) of

Many authors consider placement of an implant in a socket with periapical lesion as a contraindication, but several studies which were conducted do not show any significant difference compared to those with healthy sockets. The disadvantage of the placement of implants into the sockets of teeth with periapical lesions is the potential for implant contamination during the initial healing period because of remnants of the infection.(8,13,162)Bacteroides species can inhabit tooth periapical lesions

Truman Nord Biol 231L Sec.3 November 11, 2014 Identifying Unknown Bacteria: Streptococcus agalactiae Introduction: This experiment was conducted to find the genus and species of an unknown bacteria prescribed by the lab teacher, which was unknown bacteria GA3 in my case. Identification of unknown bacteria techniques are used on an every day basis to figure out what type of bacteria it is and to find the best method of how to treat a patient with this bacteria (1). All five “I’s” of Microbiology

During the study period from 2006 to 2014, three hundred sixty patients with a definitive infective endocarditis diagnosis were included. The mean age of the patients was 53 ± 13 (range 18–94). Two hundred thirteen (59%) patients were male and one hundred forty seven were female. 80 of the 362 patients died during hospitalization and in- hospital mortality rate was 22% for the entire study. A total of 295 (83%) of the patients were African American. 76patients had a previous episode of IE (21%).
