Antimicrobial Effects of <i>Inula viscosa</i> Extract on the In Situ Initial Oral Biofilm
Given the undesirable side effects of commercially used mouth rinses that include chemically synthesized antimicrobial compounds such as chlorhexidine, it is essential to discover novel antimicrobial substances based on plant extracts. The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial effect of...

The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial effect of <i>Inula viscosa</i> extract on the initial microbial adhesion in the oral cavity. Individual test splints were manufactured for the participants, on which disinfected bovine enamel samples were attached. After the initial microbial adhesion, the biofilm-covered oral samples were removed and treated with different concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mg/mL) of an <i>I. viscosa</i> extract for 10 min.

An <i>I. viscosa</i> extract with a concentration of 30 mg/mL killed the bacteria of the initial adhesion at a rate of 99.99% (log<sub>10</sub> CFU value of 1.837 ± 1.54). Compared to the negative control, no killing effects were determined after treatment with <i>I. viscosa</i> extract at concentrations of 10 mg/mL (log<sub>10</sub> CFU value 3.776 ± 0.831; median 3.776) and 20 mg/mL (log<sub>10</sub> CFU value 3.725 ± 0.300; median 3.711).

Given the undesirable side effects of commercially used mouth rinses that include chemically synthesized antimicrobial compounds such as chlorhexidine, it is essential to discover novel antimicrobial substances based on plant extracts.
