Infection control is critical to good dental practice. To this end, it is essential that the practitioner not only understand the concepts involved in the development and applications of antimicrobial(physical and chemical) agents but also know how to use them properly in the dental operatory. Practical applications of infection control are more fully described in several of the suggested references.

Salmonella typhi Ty21a is an attenuated strain of S. typhimurium and used for oral typhoid vaccine. In an attempt to increase the stability of Ty21a manufacturing typhoid vaccine, the stability of freeze-dried Ty21a including additives at various temperature conditions was studied. In order to investigate the freeze-drying rate of Ty21a according to various absorbance, Ty21a was lyophilized by using 8% sucrose as a stabilizer. (omitted)

The periodontal diseases and dental caries are major infectious diseases in oral cavity. Many of the preventive and therapeutic dental products contain the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory components. But some of these antimicrobial have weak points such as coloration, burning sensation and insolubility in water. We have screened the therapeutic herbal extracts of the Plant Extract Bank for the antimicrobial activity on the major dental pathogens by growth inhibition assay. For the Porphyromonas gingivalis, 8 herbal extracts had an antimicrobial activity, 11 herbal extracts for the Prevotella intermedia, 43 herbal extracts for the Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans and 61 herbal extracts for the Streptococcus mutans. Among these extracts, 6 herbal extracts had an antimicrobial activity for more than 3 species of dental pathogens. These extracts are Araliae Cordatae Radix, Crassirhizomae Rhizoma, Mori Radicis Cortex, Psoraleae Semen, Pini Ramulus and Sieges- beckiae Herba. All of effective extracts were CA group, ethanol extracts. Among these 6 herbal extracts, only Crassirhizomae is known to have a antibacterial effects. Therefore these herbal extracts have a possibility to be a candidate for a major antibacterial components in dental products.

Postantibiotic effect (PAE) is defined as the length of time that bacterial growth is suppressed following brief exposure to an antibiotic. In this study, the in vitro PAE, postantibiotic sub-MIC effect (PA SME) and sub-MIC effect (SME) of antibiotics on Treponema denticola ATCC 35405 were investigated. The PAE of doxycycline and metronidazole were 20.3 h and 25.0 h, respectively. The PA SMEs examined by addition of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3X MICs during the postantibiotic phase of the bacteria for metronidazole were longer than those for doxycycline. In contrast, the SMEs for doxycycline were longer than those for metronidazole. The PA-SME and SME values increased as the concentration of antibiotics increased. The present study illustrates the existence of PAE, PA-SME and SME for several antibiotics against T. denticola, thereby extending the pharmacodynamic advantages of these antibiotics.

Veillonella spp. have been reported to be the most prevalent nitrate-reducing bacterial species in the oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the abundance of Veillonella spp. and nitrite production after nitrate ingestion. Bacterial samples were obtained from the tongue surfaces of 50 university students. The predominant Veillonella spp., V. atypica, V. dispar, and V. rogosae were identified and enumerated using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Salivary nitrate and nitrite were measured before and 30, 60, and 90 min after ingestion of 100 ml of beetroot juice. Increased nitrite concentrations were observed in all participants, with a mean increase of 0.61 (0.42-1.10) mM expressed as the median (interquartile range). Veillonella atypica was detected in 40 subjects (80%), V. dispar in 48 (96%), and V. rogosae in 48 (96%), at quantities ranging from 1.3 × 102 to 2.8 × 107 CFU/ml per subject. The strengths of the correlations of the log colony forming unit (CFU) values of V. atypica, V. dispar, V. rogosae, and the log CFU value of the three species together with the increase in nitrite levels were 0.091, 0.114, -0.228, and 0.060, respectively, none of which were significant (p > 0.05). Our results indicate that the abundance of Veillonella spp. is not related to salivary nitrite production after nitrate ingestion.

치주질환은 만성염증성 질환으로 치조골소실을 일으켜 성인치아상실을 유발하는 요인 중 하나이다. 그람 음성세균인 Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans와 Porphyromonas gingivalis는 치주질환환자의 병소에서 쉽게 동정된다. 지질다당체(Lipopolysaccharide; LPS)는 그람 음성세균의 핵심 독력인자로 알려져 있다. 이러한 세균과 LPS는 파골세포에 의한 골소실을 조절하는 요인 중 하나이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 동물모델을 활용하여 A. actinomycetemcomitans와 P. gingivalis의 의한 골소실 여부를 확인하고, 기전규명을 위하여 A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, A. actinomycetemcomitans와 P. gingivalis에서 분리한 LPS에 의한 파골세포분화 영향을 연구하였다. 열사멸한 A. actinomycetemcomitans (HKAa)와 열사멸한 P. gingivalis (HKPg)가 복강으로 투여된 쥐의 대퇴골은 대조군에 비해 감소된 골량을 보여주었다. 이러한 골소실의 증가가 파골세포분화 때문인지 확인하기 위해 파골세포분화를 연구한 결과, bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMM)의 RANKL-매개 파골세포분화를 감소시켰으나, committed osteoclast precursor의 파골세포분화를 유도함을 확인하였다. 세균에 의한 파골세포분화 결과와 동일하게 A. actinomycetemcomitans와 P. gingivalis에서 분리한 LPS 역시 RANKL-매개 파골세포분화는 감소시키고, committed osteoclast precursor의 파골세포분화를 유도하였다. 결과적으로 치주원인균인 A. actinomycetemcomitans와 P. gingivalis는 committed osteoclast precursor의 파골세포분화를 증가시키는데, 이 세균들의 LPS가 핵심 역할을 수행하는 것으로 판단되며 이를 통해 골 흡수를 유발함을 알 수 있었다.
