Naturally occurring diallyldihydroxybiphenyl compounds, magnolol and honokiol were reported to have potent antibacterial activities against most of Gram positive bacteria (1-4). To developmore potent antibacterial agents, some allyhydroxybiphenyl derivatives were synthesized from the starting compounds, p-phenyl-phenol (I) p-phenylphenol (IV), o, o-biphenol (VII) and p. p'-biphenol (XII). Among the newly synthesized compounds (III, VI, IX, XI, XIV and XVI), the antibacterial activities of 2-allyl-p-phenylphenol (VI), 6-ally-o, 0'-biphenol (IX), 2, 2'-diallyl-o, o'-biphenol (XIV) and 2, 2', 6-triallyl-p, p'-biphenol (XIV) were more potent than those of magnolol and bonokiol against a cariogenic bacterium, Stroptococcus matans ATCC OMZ 176.

Bamboo salt is a special processed salt by Korean traditional recipe. Recent study results showed that bamboo salt or bamboo salt with some other materials like herbal extracts have the anti-microbial activity, inhibition effects of dental plaque and gingival inflammation. Bamboo salt also showed anti-cariogenic effects; remineralization and acid resistance. Compare to fluoride toothpaste, bomboo salt toothpaste with fluoride showed the more effective remineralization on inner part of the early dental caries lesion. It increased the surface hardness and decreased lesion depth of early dental caries lesion. Thus, it is suggested thai bamboo salt could be used as a anti-microbial, anti-plaque, anti-inflammatory and anti-cariogenic material for oral disease prevention. Especially, bamboo salt dentifrice with fluoride can be recommanded as a useful remineralizing agent.

The antibacterial effect against cariogenic bacteria was evaluated in combination of 5-FC and intracellular cytosine deaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum YK 391. While S. mutans, L. parabuchneri and A. naeslundii showed antibacterial effect against 10 mM of 5-FU, S. intermedius, S. mitis, S. agalactiae, L. lactis, A. israelii, A. viscosus don't caused antibacterial effect. The addition of the cytosine deaminase and 10 mM of 5-FC to S. mutans, S. sanguis, L. brevis, L. parabuchneri, L. oris and A. naeslundii caused weakly antibacterial effect. S. sanguis caused weakly antibacterial effect against 10 mM of 5-FC. These results suggested that combination of the cytosine deaminase and 5-FC was showed the possibility to precautionary measures of dental caries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Australia propolis against cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria. Antimicrobial activity was determined by evaluating the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Cell cytotoxicity of propolis extract on normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1) cells was observed using the methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. The data indicated that, with the exception of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (KCOM 1306), the MBC values of the propolis strains were 0.25-1% without HGF-1 cell cytotoxicity. These results suggest that propolis can be used to develop oral hygiene products for the prevention of oral infectious disease.

This study was carried out to develop anticariogenic agents from natural products, the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of 105 medicinal plants were tested for the antimicrobial activity against a cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. Among them, the Aristolochia contorta, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Eugenia caryophyllata, Hemerocallis fulva, Pinellia ternata, Pyrola japonica, and Scrophularia buergeriana showed significant antimicrobial activity.

For the purpose of survey of the antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176 with the introduction of hydroxyl and allyl groups to o-phenylphenol (Fig. 2, 1), 4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (2), and 3,6-diallyl-4-hydroxy-o-phenylphenol (4) were synthesized, sucessively. The synthesized compounds, 2 and 4 showed more potent antibacterial activity than the starting material, 1. The hydroxyl group was supposed to the essential element for the antibacterial activity and the introduction of allyl group to phenolic ring to be another element to increase the activity.

In a continuous study for the developing of the anticariogenic agents, 3,3'-diacyl-4,4'-biphenol derivatives (Fig. 2, 2 and 3) and 3,3'-bis-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-4,4'-biphenol (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) derivatives are synthesized successively from 4,4'-diphenol (Fig. 2, 1). The synthesized compounds are tested for their antibacterial activity against a cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176. The acyl derivatives, 2 and 3, do not show antibacterial activity, but the hydroxyalkyl derivatives, 4 and 5, reduced from the acyl group of 2 and 3, show the activity. The antibacterial activity of 2 and 3 may be inhibited due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the acyl group and the hydroxyl one (Fig. 4).

Enamel demineralization represents the most prevalent complication arising from fixed orthodontic treatment. Its main etiology is the development of cariogenic biofilms formed around orthodontic appliances. Ordinarily, oral biofilms exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the host's defense mechanisms. However, the equilibrium can be disrupted by environmental changes, such as the introduction of a fixed orthodontic appliance, resulting in a shift in the biofilm's microbial composition from non-pathogenic to pathogenic. This alteration leads to an increased prevalence of cariogenic bacteria, notably mutans streptococci, within the biofilm. This article examines the relationships between oral biofilms and orthodontic appliances, with a particular focus on strategies for effectively managing oral biofilms to mitigate enamel demineralization around orthodontic appliances.
