Route of Administration: Topical
Antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Tetradenia riparia (contains 6.2% of fenchone) was tested against cariogenic bacteris. Tetradenia riparia essential oil displayed MIC values between 31.2 and 500 ug/mL, with the lowest MIC value being obtained against Streptococcus mitis (31.2 ug/mL), S. mutans (62.5 ug/mL), S. sobrinus (31.2 ug/mL), and Lactobacillus casei (62.5 ug/mL).
