Primary childhood caries constitute a burden for the dental profession and public health administrators, as many authors report that the situation in primary dentition has not improved over the last decades, impacting children's quality of life and future oral health. Biological as well as socio economic factors are related to the development of dental caries, and are both relevant in understanding the disease process and is the main reason the rural preschool children's are admitted to hospitals. The early stages of invasion infection caused by Lactobacillus acidophilus also play major role in this process. This study was carried out to access the invitro antibacterial potential of the different tooth paste and tooth powders available in local market against the isolated oral micro flora Lactobacillus acidophilus from hundred different samples (including tooth scraping and swabs) collected from various dental clinics and from rural preschool children with different age group ranging from 5-17yrs. A total of hundred isolates were selected and screened for their ability to produce antimicrobial substance. The antimicrobial activity of eleven different tooth pastes such as Pepsodent, Colgate advance, Meswak, Vicco, S. V Namboodiri, K. P. Namboodiri's, Babool, Dabur Red, Close up, Himalaya herbal complete care and Cheerio gel and four different tooth powders namely Herbal JM, Gopal, Pyorea and Injection were evaluated on cariogenic lactic acid bacteria. The antimicrobial properties of tooth paste were tested with cariogenic biofi lm producing microbial strain Lactobacillus acidophilus using well diffusion method. Each tooth paste was tested at different concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% and 12%). This investigation showed that all dentifrices selected for the study were effective against the entire test organisms but to varying degrees. Pepsodent - Germi Check tooth paste gave a reading of 45 mm at 10% concentration of tooth paste as the zone of inhibition which was highest amongst all of the test dentifrices followed by Colgate advance dentifrice recorded a larger maximum zone of inhibition, measuring 40 mm compared to other tooth pastes. All other dentifrices showed the zone of inhibition to be between 20 mm to 37.5 mm in 10% concentration of tooth paste respectively. The data obtained from the complete investigation showed that tooth paste formulations have more effective active ingredients to control the oral micro fl ora whereas, herbal based products are equally effective as the other formulations but are not superior to them, whereas the tooth powder formulations were 100% less effective in controlling the oral flora.

Dental caries is an infectious, communicable disease that acid-forming bacteria of dental plaque can destroy tooth structure in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose. It continuous to be a major problem in dentistry affecting the mankind even today. In this present investigation EPS producing cariogenic Lactobacillus acidophilus were isolated from various dental clinics were analyzed and characterized by phenotypic and 16SrDNA gene sequence for the production of exopolysaccharides. Further, the optimal conditions of temperature (30°C 45°C) were determined. Lactobacillus acidophilus were identified and screened on the basis of the molecular weight of its plasmid DNA (100 kb). The EPS production by Lactobacillus acidophilus was confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. Optimization of culture condition for mass EPS yield was studied. When the strains were grown in 10% (W/V) reconstituted with skim milk under different culture conditions. The result showed that culturing of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain LACVG02, LACVG06, LACVG17, LACVG36, LACVG38, LACVG75, LACVG85 and LACVG92 at temperature (37°C) and pH (6.5) optimal for growth was also favourable for EPS production. Supplementation in 10% (w/v) skim milk with different concentration (1%,2%,3%,4% and 5%) of carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, maltose, dextrose and fructose) increased EPS production; glucose being more effective than other sugars. Supplementation with different concentration of nitrogen sources (Peptone, Beef, Yeast, Urease, Gelatin, Ammonium Ferric Citrate, Ammonium Molyptate, and Ammonium per Sulphate, Ammonium Acetate) at 1% 5% (w/v) resulted in about two-fold increase in EPS production. The potentiality of Lactobacillus acidophilus in EPS production was assessed. EPS production by Lactobacillus acidophilus is partially growth associated. A maximum of 1.99 gm of EPS/ml was synthesized by LACVG06 in the skim milk medium supplemented with 5% (w/v) glucose and 5% (w/v) of different nitrogen sources increased in EPS production; ammonium acetate being more effective than other nitrogen sources by LACVG06 in skim milk production medium produce a maximum of 1.98 gm of EPS ∕ ml was synthesized at 37°C and at initial pH 6.5.
