| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed an antimicrobial agent utilizing natural ingredient catechin-containing gel and recognized that this gel does not affect the streptococci group involved in normal maintenance of the oral cavity.
We received clinical pilot experiments for elderly people requiring long-term care. Results obtained were consistent with in vitro results, we found out the possibility of controlling the microbial flora and oral microbial number. On the other hand, we tried to search for a new natural antibacterial component. Allyl isothiocyanate and six types of mixed positive and anionic water significantly inhibited growth and pathogenic factors of periodontal pathogens and C. albicans. From these results, it is suggests that these antibacterial ingredients may contribute to health maintenance and improvement of QOL for elderly people.
