Objetivos: Determinar la efi cacia in vitro del efecto inhibidor del extracto etanólico de propóleo en comparación al gluconato de clorhexidina frente a cepas de Lactobacillus acidophilus. Material y Métodos: El tipo de investigación fue experimental, prospectivo, analítico y longitudinal, llevándose a cabo en el laboratorio de microbiología de la Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener durante el año 2016. La población estuvo conformada por cepas de Lactobacillus acidophilus de uso comercial, con una muestra de 30 cultivos en placas petri con agar base sangre, colocándose discos de papel Whatman N° 40 embebidos con extracto etanólico de propóleo al 15% y 30%, así como gluconato de clorhexidina 0,12% como control positivo y alcohol de 70° como control negativo. Se desarrolló el cultivo en condiciones de anaerobiosis a 37 °C. Resultados: Se obtuvo que la concentración al 15%...

Objective: To determine the antioxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of Origanum vulgare through DPPH, ABTS and FRAP essays. Material and Methods: The sample collected from Origanum vulgare was dried, reduced in size and placed to macerate 500 grams of dry sample in 1000 mL of 97% ethanol for one week. After time, the macerate was processed through a filter and concentrated in an oven. The formulations were carried out and the dilutions were analyzed with the antioxidant essays. Results: DPPH Method, the 25% gel showed an IC50 of 98.485 mg / mL equivalent to the dilution of 78.789% and for the Trolox® standard, it presented IC50 of 2.48 µg / mL. ABTS Method, the 25% gel formulation presented IC50 of 3.687 mg / mL equivalent to a dilution of 77.75% and for the Trolox® standard it presented IC50 of 2.99 µg / mL, a difference from the other formulations. The results evidenced ...

The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge on oral health of mothers and their relationship with oral health status of their children under five years old, who were admitted to hospitals of Ministry of Health (MINSA) and Social Security (ESSALUD). Were taken into consideration ethical standards. This is an analytical and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of mothers with children under five years of age (n 143). Was used not randomized quota sampling. Was applied a structured questionnaire to collect information about the level of mother´s knowledge on oral health and a diagnostic sheet for oral health status of children under five. Clinical examination was performed with artifitial light, using epidemiological indices: Dental Caries Index (dmft), and the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index by Greene-Vermillion (OHI-S). There was no significant association between ...
