Formulation and evaluation of oral disintegrating films using a natural ingredient against Streptococcus mutans
Abstract
Aqueous extracts of Vaccinium oxycoccos (and Plectranthus amboinicus) were incorporated into oral disintegrating films targeting the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The bog cranberry extract showed good antibacterial activity (MIC 50 ug/mL), supporting its use as a natural antimicrobial agent against oral pathogens.
