TAMES TERAN, Jessica; VELARDE NEGRETE, Jans y VILLARROEL FRANCO, Sandro. Antibacterial activity of a mouth rinse made with green tea, rose and camu-camu extracts. Gac Med Bol [online]. 2024, vol.47, n.2, pp.20-25. Epub 31-Dic-2024. ISSN 1012-2966. https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v47i2.805.
At present a very common dental problem is the increase of dental caries, which can reach severe complications such as gingivitis, periodontitis and in extreme cases dental necrosis due to a very advanced infection, complicating until reaching a picture of endocarditis and sepsis, a problem that can be avoided with complete oral hygiene that consists of toothbrushing reinforced by a natural mouthwash.
Objective:
to evaluate in vitro the antibacterial activity of a therapeutic mouthwash made with extracts of green tea leaves, rose petals, and camu-camu pulp.
Methods:
observational, descriptive, experimental, prospective cross-sectional study; cuali- quantitative approach, whose plant material under study are green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), rose petals (Rosa sp.) and camu-camu fruit pulp (Myrciaria dubia).
Results:
according to the Duraffourd Sensitivity Scale, both S. aureus and S. mutans are "very sensitive" to the antibacterial effect of natural mouthwash whose inhibition halos measured 18.5 mm and 19,4 mm respectively, both having similar antibacterial activity. The determination of the MIC against the mouthwash and foramen showed MICs of 1,56 mg/ml against S. aureus and S. mutans.
Conclusions:
the MIC of the natural mouthwash and the sensitivity of the bacteria under study to it were determined, obtaining optimal results for the target.
