Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus are the most common cariogenic microorganisms. Chlorhexidine has been the most widely used antibacterial mouthwash in dentistry. On the other hand, few studies have reported the antibacterial potential of Propolis and Ozonated olive oil as antibacterial agents that can be used as alternatives to Chlorhexidine. This study aims to evaluate and compare the antibacterial effect of Ozonated olive oil, Propolis, and Chlorhexidine on S. mutans and L. acidophilus count in pediatric patients.
