- Abstract
Aim: To determine the in-vitro antimicrobial effect of three commercially available mouthrinses and lemon grass oil against oral sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) to prevent microbal corrosion Methods The antimicrobial effect of lemon grass oil, chlorhexidine, betadine and hydroxymouth rinseagainst Desulfovibri that was isolated from the oral cavity of a patient undergoing orthodontic treatment was done by disc diffusion method (24 h) and time dependent minimum inhibitory concentration ( 1h,2h,3h,4h,5h). Comparison of activity was done with standard antibiotic amoxyrite. The experiments were done in triplicates and statistically analysed with ANOVA. Results: All the test substances exhibited significant antimicrobial activity in a dose dependent manner that was comparable with standard. On comparing the test substances,Povidone iodine exhibited highest activity as depicted by zone of inhibition followed by Hydrogen Peroxide> Chlorhexidine> Lemongrass Oil> positive control. Conclusion: Commercially available Povidone iodine, hydroxyl and chlorhexidine mouth rinses could prevent microbial corrosion by inhibiting SRB. Lemon grass oil was also found to be effective in inhibiting SRB,howeverits effect on biofilms of orthodontic brackets and safety in patients has to be studied in future.
