Abstract
It is reported that about 95% of the populations in the world have
dental caries. Although NaF is an effective #anticariogenicagent and F-
is
the strongest #electronegativeion, the abuse of NaF is not only harmful
to human beings (dental fluorosis, #hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity etc.)
but also an ecosystem destroyer. It is urgent to explore a better
anticariogenic agent for prevention and therapy of dental caries. In
this study,
we have comparatively studied the antibacterial effects of four
different kinds of tea #polyphenols on the cultured cariogenic #Streptococcusmutans UA159. The results obtained showed that tea polyphenols are
more potent than NaF in inhibiting the growth of UA159 which is based
on the concentrations (mM) required for 50% inhibition.
