The inhibitive effect of IgY toothpaste's against oral Streptococcus mutans
Objectives: To study the effect of the toothpaste containing IgY against oral Streptococcus mutans. Methods: 140 subjects were divided into 2 groups randomly (test group and control group). Before the beginning of the test, each subject underwent a elution period in order to lessen the other influential factors, then different toothpastes were used for the test. Streptococcus mutans values were determined with Dentocult SM Strip just before the test, at 1 day,3,7,30days after using toothpaste and 14 days after stopping toothpaste use. Results: In test group, the values of Streptococcus mutans decreased at 1 day after toothpaste use. In control group the values decreased at 3 days after toothpaste use. The values of Streptococcus mutans decreased gradually in each group after toothpaste use. 2 weeks after stopping toothpaste use, the values of Streptococcus mutans were still suppressed. Conclusions: The application of the toothpaste containing IgY may reduce oral Streptococcus mutans levels significantly.
