Abstract
Background and Objectives: Mouth
washes with anti-inflammatory and anti-plaque
properties are recommended to maintain
good oral hygiene. Thus the aim of this
study was to compare the antibacterial
effects of chlorhexidine mouth wash (CHX)
with Jaftex mouth wash.
Materials and
Methods: In this in vitro study
the disc diffusion method was used to
measure inhibition zone on tested mouth
washes on streptococus mutans s.sanguis
s. salivarius and lactobacillus casei.
The tube dilution method was used for
determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations
(MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrations
(MBC). Results were analyzed by using
ANOVA test. (P < 0/05 was considered
significant).
Results: The
CHX mouth wash significantly exhibited
greater inhibition zone than Jaftex. The
MICs for CHX and Jaftex were 2 and 20
micrograms/ml for S. mutans respectively.
The MBCs for the mentioned mouth washes
were 20 and 200 micrograms/ml for S.mutans,
respectively.
Discussion and
Conclusion: Jaftex mouth wash was
less potent than the CHX in inhibiting
growth on oral microorganisms and it is
recommended to be used for plaque inhibition.

Medicine in Iran has a history of thousands
of years (1). Dentistry is one of the most favorite
fields of study in Iran (2-3). There are about
500 species of bacteria in the mouth, some of
which cause mouth infectious diseases. (4-6).
The mouth is a perfect environment for colonization
and growth of a wide range of microorganisms
especially bacteria (7). The bacterial plaque
is a predisposing factor in destruction of the
teeth and periodontal tissue (8). Mouth rinses
will reduce bacterial plaque. Chlorhexidine
(CHX) has been known as a gold standard for
controlling plaque (9-11). Long-term use of
(CHX) causing complications such as dental stain,
changes in taste and dry mouth (12). The use
of herbal medicines in recent years due to antibacterial
and antifungal effects and less side effects
for oral health has been common (4,9,12). Herbal
mouth washes, due to having natural compounds
in terms of compatibility with the bodys
physiology and less poisoning, has a better
condition than CHX and is recommended for people
who do not have the possibility of using chemical
mouth rinses (13-14). Persian oak is one of
the medicinal plants and its many treatment
effects are listed (15). Antimicrobial properties
of various species of Persian oak in various
studies have been mentioned (16). A thin membrane
that covers the oak is called jaft. Jaft has
a great effect in the treatment of bacterial
and viral diseases such as oral aphthous lesions
(15). Jaftex is a new herbal mouth wash that
has been prepared in the pharmaceutical research
center of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of medical
sciences. Jaftex is a combination of extract
of oak Jaft (Oak Fruit) as a basis, extracts
of Zataria Multifiu and Saturej Bachtiarica.
This
study
aimed
to
compare
the
antibacterial
effects
of
Cholorhexidine
mouth
wash
and
Jaftex
on
some
common
oral
microorganisms.
This
study
is
an
in
vitro
study.
The
mouth
wash
of
CHX
2/0%
(Iran
Nazhvan)
was
used
in
this
study.
To
prepare
Jaftex
aqueous
extracts
of
oak,
Zataria
Multifiu
and
Saturej
Bachtiarica
were
taken
and
after
combining
the
extracts
9
grams
of
sodium
chloride
were
added
and
with
distilled
water
reached
to
one
m/l.
To
prepare
bacterial
suspensions,
bacterial
vials
were
purchased
from
collection
of
fungi
and
bacteria
Iran
(Pasteur)
which
included:
Streptococcus
mutans
(PTCC
1683),
S.
sanguinis
(PTCC
1449),
S.
salivarius
(PTCC
1448)
and
Lactobacillus
casei
(PTCC
1608).
According
to
the
manufacturers
instructions
they
were
dissolved
in
sterile
saline.
Following
that
bacterial
suspension
was
cultured
on
solid
medium
(blood
agar,
Merck
Germany)
and
incubated
at
37
°
C
for
24
-
48
hours.
A
colony
was
isolated
from
fresh
cultures
of
bacteria
and
was
dissolved
in
saline
until
approximate
concentration
of
1.5
×
10^8
cfu
(equal
to
n:
05
Mcfarland
Standrd)
was
obtained.
Suspension
of
any
bacteria
was
cultured
on
medium
(MHA).
Using
dilute
method,
2
ml
of
each
mouth
wash
was
dissolved
in
2
ml
of
distilled
water
until
the
first
concentration
reached
1
mg
per
ml.
To
obtain
the
second
concentration
(5.0
mg
per
ml),
the
amount
of
1
cc
of
this
solution
was
dissolved
with
2
ml
of
distilled
water,
and
so
the
next
concentrations
(0.25-0.125
-
0.0625)
for
both
chlorhexidine
mouth
wash
and
Jaftex
were
obtained,
respectively.
The
blank
disks
on
each
medium
were
placed
in
a
row
and
mouth
washes
were
cultured
on
the
disks
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
concentration
and
were
incubated
at
37
°
C
for
24
hours.
After
disks
of
bacteria
Streptococcus
mutans,
Streptococcus
sanguinis,
Streptococcus
salivarius
and
Lactobacillus
casei
were
cultured,
for
each
concentration
of
chlorhexidine
and
Jaftex
and
were
evaluated,
and
inhibition
zone
was
measured
using
Antibiogram
ruler.
Then
the
two
mouth
washes
without
dilution
and
with
standardized
dilutions
(chlorhexidine
0/2%
and
Jaftex)
were
cultured
on
the
above
microorganisms
similar
to
the
above
method.
Then
minimum
inhibitory
concentration
(MIC)
and
minimum
bactericidal
concentration
(MBC)
of
each
mouth
washes
were
determined.
so
that
each
tube,
8
ml
of
medium,
1
ml
bacteria
and
1
ml
of
mouth
wash
were
added
and
then
1
ml
removed
from
the
first
tube
and
was
added
to
the
second
tube
and
so
on
until
the
fourth
tube
reached
concentrations
of
200-20-2-0.2)
micrograms
per
milliliter,
respectively.
Then
they
were
incubated
at
37°
C
for
24
hours,
then
the
transparency
of
the
tubes
was
checked
visually.
Tubes
without
turbidity,
indicated
the
inhibition
of
bacterial
growth.
The
tube
that
showed
the
highest
concentration
of
residual
turbid
mouth
wash
was
MIC.
The
respective
mouthwashes
were
transferred
to
a
solid
medium
(blood
agar,
Merck
Germany)
and
were
evaluated
in
terms
of
microbial
growth
to
determine
the
MBC
of
mouth
washes.
The
last
tube
which
was
negative
in
terms
of
culture
on
solid
medium,
indicated
the
MBC
of
mouth
washes.
This
procedure
was
performed
for
all
bacterial
strains.
This
test
was
performed
for
all
four
target
bacteria.
The
data
were
analyzed
with
ANOVA
test
using
SPSS
software
version
13.0.
P
value
less
than
0.05
was
considered
significant.
