Abstract
Abstract: The prevention of dental caries searches for possibilities to control the pathogenic microbial flora by using natural products with prolonged discharged of the active ingredients and good penetration of the biofilm. The objective is to establish the effect of two dental preparations containing basil and eucalyptus oils on the salivary levels of Str. Mutans and Lactobacillus in in-vivo study. The study includes 90 clinically healthy individuals, randomly distributed in three groups – control, H3-treated and L3-treated. The applications are done on days 1,3,5,7 and 9. The effect on the microbial levels is analyzed with CRT bacteria test with incubator. The time control periods are 0, 10 and 30 days. The use of dental preparations H3 and L3 shows reduction of the cases of high salivary levels of Str. Mutans and Lactobacillus, with lowest levels registered on day 10. Both groups treated with the preparations show increase of the salivary levels of Str. Mutans and Lactobacillus on the 30th day, however, they remain statistically significantly lower, compared to the initial levels (p<0,05). The dental preparations containing basil and eucalyptus essential oils reduce the salivary levels of Str. Mutans and Lactobacillus, in in-vivo study, with markedly stronger effect of the L3 preparation.
