Vinegar inhibits the formation of oral biofilm in situ.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Vinegar has been recognized as an effective antimicrobial agent for long. This study intended to elucidate the effect of commercially available vinegar on in situ pellicle formation and existing 24-h biofilms. METHODS:In situ biofilm formation took place on bovine enamel slabs mounted in individual splints and exposed intraorally over 3?min and 24?h, respectively. After 5?s rinsing with vinegar, all samples were analyzed via fluorescence microscopy (FM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, salivary samples were collected and analyzed via FM. Samples with water rinsing served as controls. RESULTS:Vinegar caused destruction of the pellicle. Compared to the control group, vinegar rinsing reduced the outer globular layer of the pellicle (p?
