Antimicrobial activity of toothbrush wood against some aerobic and anaerobic bacteria such as S. pyogenes, S. mutans, S. faecalis, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, A. actinomycete comitans, C. albicans and B. gingivalis have been proven.
Different parts of the plant have a strong and widespread antimicrobial effect on a variety of microorganisms due to their tannin content, which prevents bacteria from sticking to the teeth.
Chloride in toothbrush wood prevents plaque from forming on the teeth, which is why people who use toothbrush for a long time have white teeth. Significant fluoride, along with other compounds present in the stems of the toothbrush plant, promotes strong anti-tooth decay properties.
Propolis
Propolis is a resin compound that is collected by bees from various trees. The history of using propolis for cosmetic purposes and as an anti-inflammatory and wound healing, dates back to about 300 BC.
In in vitro studies, various propolis extracts have been shown to have extensive antimicrobial activity against higher gram-positive bacteria and yeasts.
Synergistic effects with several antibiotics have also been shown. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, propolis has been used in mouthwashes, mouthwashes, gels and lubricating products.
In vitro studies have shown the effect of pneumonia against common periodontal pathogens such as Candida species and Streptococcus mutans, and a study has suggested the possibility of caffeic acid acting at the cellular level to affect the function of the epithelial membrane against microbes.
Compared to milk, saline, and Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution, the use of bromine as a medium to hold teeth after the tooth has erupted, such as after trauma, has shown that teeth retained in propolis have more viable cells.
