Research Abstract |
In this study, we aimed to analyze the penetration kinetics of a variety of mouthrinses containing different active ingredients into in vitro Streptococcus mutans biofilms using calcein-AM(CAM) and time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy. This technique is possible to observe temporally the process in which the fluorescence of CAM which permeated in bacteria disappears by membrane disruptive. Furthermore, verify the bactericidal effect of mouthrinse used fluorescent bacterial viability stain and viable cell counts, the biofilm detachment ability of mouthrinse was searched together with them. In conclusion, time-lapse microscopic analysis with CAM fluorescent labeling demonstrated that the four mouthrinses showed different penetration kinetics in S. mutans biofilm. Thymol showed the greatest penetration velocity, indicating its high membrane disruption ability. Meanwhile, suggesting that membrane disruption does not always indicate death and/or detachment of bacteria.
