Abstract

Abstract. – OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the bacterial-adherence to the experimental pellicle pretreated with commer- cially available oral-rinse/photosensitizer (mim- icking use of oral-rinse/photosensitizer beforemeals). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An artificial mouth (NAM) system was used for the devel- opment of single-species biofilm (Actinomyces viscosus, Sreptococcus mitis and Streptococ- cus sanguinis respectively). Two commercially available oral-rinses containing active ingredi- ents [Essential oils (EO) and Chlorhexidine glu-conate (CHX) were used. Curcumin photosensi-tizer (PS) was used as a photosensitizer against the microbes. For the adherence study, the ex-perimental pellicle on the beads (in the capillary tubes of the NAM system) was pretreated with the oral-rinse and photosensitizer before the in-oculation of bacteria; this would resemble the use of rinse/photosensitizer before meal. The bacterial population of the biofilm was determined using serial dilution assay and expressed as colony forming unit per ml. Deionized distilled water was used in place of oral-rinse/ photosensitizer and served as a negative-control. For the qualitative study, bacterial population viewing was carried out using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). RESULTS: It was observed that on treatment with the oral-rinses the bacterial population of S.mitis, S.sanguinis and A.viscosus (adherence) was significantly reduced where the reduction was less for EO-based oral-rinse compared with that of CHX and curcumin PS in the following se- quence EO<CHX<PS (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: From the results, it appears that curcumin photosensitizer and oral-rinses contain CHX to be preferably used before-meal and EO after-meal.
