Abstract :
Fluoride is a safe and effective agent that can
be used to prevent and control dental caries. Fluoride
can be delivered topically and systemically. Topical
fluorides strengthen teeth already present in the mouth,
making them more decay resistant, while systemic
fluorides are those that are ingested and become
incorporated into forming tooth structures. Systemic
fluorides also provide topical protection because fluoride
is present in saliva, which continually bathes the teeth.
Tea can be used as antioxidant, antimutagenic and
anticariogenic. It is used to improve oral health
including dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth
loss, abolition of halitosis, oral malignancy prevention
and regression. Studies on the development of antiplaque agents in the prevention of dental caries have
investigated the effect of some tea preparations and their
individual components on the glucan synthesis catalyzed
by glucosy transferase from mutans streptococci.
Extracts of tea combined with topical fluoride showed
appreciable inhibition of the dental caries prevntion. For
bacterial screening four Gram-positive and four Gramnegative bacteria was used against crude acetone and
chloroforms extracts at a concentration of 200 µg/ml and
400 µg/ml. Upon antibacterial screening, the crude ethyl
acetate extract of C. sinensis L. extract showed highest
activity against S. mutans than most of other organisms.
A single compound (SR-1) isolated from the crude ethyl
acetate extract of C. sinensis L. (Black Tea), having RF
value 0.73 showed highest antibacterial activity against
S. mutans among the four Gram positive and four Gram
negative bacteria at a concentration of 200 µg/ml and
400 µg/ml. The zone of inhibition are 16 mm and 24 mm
when extract used at a concentration 200 µg/ml and 400
µg/ml, respectively. These zone of inhibition are more
than that of the standard kanamycin which showed only
13 mm. This is perhaps due to the partial resistance of
Kanamycin against S. mutans.
