Pathobiology of dental caries is complex. Data from recent molecular microbiologic studies have further redefined the role of the oral microbiome in the etiology of dental caries. This new information challenges the ...

Aim: The inhibitory and antibiofilm effects of Thymus vulgaris (EOTv) and Hyptis spicigera essential oils (EOHs) on cariogenic microorganisms were evaluated. Materials & methods: The chemical characterization of EOTv was ...

This in situ study evaluated the interaction between caries and erosion processes. In the first phase, enamel specimens were subjected to erosion without dental plaque (EO) or to erosion with plaque (EP); in the second ...

Aim: Phytomedicine has been commonly practiced as a form of traditional medicine in various cultures for the treatment of oral diseases. Recently, it has gained importance as an alternative to conventional treatment. Several ...

Although sucrose is considered the most cariogenic carbohydrate in the human diet, the question of how many exposures are needed to induce damage on the hard dental tissues remains unclear. To approach this question, ...

OBJETIVE: It is unclear the role of milk’s fat and fatty acids on the cariogenicity of the dairy product. The aim of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the effect of the presence or absence of fat in bovine milk, on a ...
