Resumo: |
Biofilms are organized biological structures, where microorganisms form structured, coordinated and functional communities. The fungal biofilms has emerged due to pathogenic capacity, with emphasis on biofilms by Candida albicans, thereby treating of prothetic stomatitis and eliminating of fungal biofilm has been intensified because of the importance of oral health. The microorganisms that form the biofilm, in general, have different phenotypic characteristics such as differences in sensitivity to antifungal agents and greater resistance against host defenses, being responsible for different clinical manifestations. Commercially there are several antifungals available, such as mouth rinses and sanitizers, aiming to control biofilm, however, there has been interest in the search for plant products, as in the case of herbs, such as the Rosmarinus officinalis. The objective of the study was to evaluate the extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis action in the biofilm formation of C. albicans on the surfaces of acrylic resins. The specimens made of acrylic resin were sterilized and inoculated with C. albicans (1x107 cells / ml). Induction of biofilm was performed on evidence blocks that were treated before in the first experiment and after inoculation in second experiment according to the experimental groups. Six treatments were used being them a control group,non treated (G1) nystatin 0,5%, (G2), lotion 24% of R. officinalis essential oil,(G3) , essential oil of R. officinalis 24% in carbopol,(G4), hydroalcoholic extract of R. officinalis 20% in carbopol,(G5) and carbopol 3%(G6). After 48 hours of inoculation and after 48 hours of treatment biofilm were quantified using spectrophotometer with wavelength of 570nm. The results of the studies were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey tests. From all the different formulations of extract used, the 24% essential oil lotion of Rosmarinus officinalis proved to be much more effective in inhibiting biofilm formation and in the elimination of post formed biofilm. It is therefore concluded that the extracts of R. officinalis were efficient in controlling biofilm and may become an alternative in the profilaxy and elimination of the C. albicans biofilm. |
