Abstract
Objective: To determine the antimicrobial effects of grape seed on peri-implantitis microflora. Methods: The grape seed extract was tested against peri-implantitis microflora most commonly found in craniofacial implants including reference strains of . Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), Candida albicans (. C. albicans) and clinical strains of . S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia) and . Candida parapsilosis (C. parapsilosis) by disk diffusion test. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum cidal concentrations (MCC) were determined using modified agar dilution millpore method. The extract was further combined with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, and was tested for antimicrobial effects. Results: Grape seed extract showed positive inhibitory effects with . S. aureus at MIC of 0.625 mg/mL and MCC of 1.25 mg/mL respectively. However the extracts showed minimal or no reactivity against strains of . E. coli, K. pneumonia, C. parapsilosis and . C. albicans. The use of grape seed extract in combination with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol also showed dose dependent inhibitory effect on . S. aureus. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that grape seed has potential antimicrobial effects which can be further studied and developed to be used in the treatment of infected skin-abutment interface of craniofacial implants. © 2012 Asian Pacific Tropical Biomedical Magazine.
