Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in the dental field. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the most important bacteria in the formation of dental plaque and dental caries. In a previous study, we confirmed that the essential oil of Chrysanthemum boreale has antibacterial activity against S. mutans. Alpha-pinene is one of the major chemical components of Chrysanthemum boreale essential oil. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of ɑ-pinene on cariogenic properties such as growth, acid production, biofilm formation, and bactericidal activity on S. mutans. Alpha-pinene at a concentration range of 0.25-0.5 mg/mL significantly inhibited the growth of S. mutans and acid production of S. mutans. Biofilm formation was significantly inhibited at > 0.0625 mg/mL ɑ-pinene, similar to the data from scanning electronic microscopy. Under confocal laser scanning microscopy, the bacterial viability was decreased by ɑ-pinene in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggested that ɑ-pinene may be a useful agent for inhibiting the cariogenic properties of S. mutans.

This study was designed to determine whether the ethanol extract of Artemisia princeps could inhibit the cariogenic activity of Streptococcus mutans. The increase in acid production and biofilm formation by S. mutans were evaluated. The expression levels of virulence factor genes were determined by performing the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The bactericidal effect was tested by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The A. princeps extract was observed to inhibit the growth of S. mutans at concentrations >0.05 mg/mL (P < .05). After using the safranin staining method, we found that the A. princeps extract had an inhibitory effect against biofilm formation at a concentration of >0.05 mg/mL. These experimental results were similar to that observed with the scanning electron microscopy. The results of the confocal microscopy revealed that the A. princeps extract at high concentrations of 0.4–3.2 mg/mL showed a bactericidal effect in a concentration-dependent manner. According to the results of the real-time PCR analysis, it was observed that the A. princeps extract inhibited the expression of virulence factor genes. These results suggest that A. princeps may inhibit the cariogenic activity of S. mutans, and may be useful as an anticariogenic agent.
