Abstract
In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. We extracted the studies related to natural compounds affected on S. mutans biofilm from different databases. Disruption of S. mutans viability in biofilms by a potent new pharmacological factor could inhibit and remove cavities. Various antibacterial agents are needed to destroy biofilms that remove both pathogens and commensal bacteria, and also exert inhibitory effects on many bacterial species. An effective therapeutic agent for dental caries has to be capable of removing pathogens and their biofilms. Specific virulence attributes of S. mutans exist; hence, natural compounds that have excellent properties to combat such pathogens need to be selected.
