Abstract: [Abstract] Objective:To investigate the bacteriostasis effect of Longliqi DL toothpaste containing dextranase and lysozyme on several species of oral bacteria. Methods:The adhesiveness of S. mutans(Sm) was determined by Dentocult SM test; the bacteriostasis to A. actinomycetemcomitans(Aa), P. gingivalis(Pg) and A. viscosus(Av) were observed by agar dispersion method. Results:The aqueous solutions of dextranase and the toothpaste reduced adhesion of Sm to the Dentocult SM test strip; the aqueous solutions of lysozyme produced clear inhibition zones of Aa, Pg and Av, and the diameter of the inhibition zones increased along with the increasing of concentration of lysozyme; the toothpaste produced clear inhibition zones of Pg and Av and unclear inhibition zone of Aa. Conclusions:Dextranase and the toothpaste reduce the adhesiveness of Sm; lysozyme and the toothpaste has in vitro bacteriostasis effect on several species of oral microorganism.
