Materials Methods:In study, six types children produced by different companies were prepared.Different concentrations prepared according Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standard.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) measured microbroth dilution method at ten concentrations.Results: For S. mutans bacteria, lowest MIC found Misswake, Vi-One, 2080 toothpaste.In case sanguinis L. acidophilus related Frice toothpaste, for E. faecalis MICs Misswake toothpaste.Mann-Whitney U test also revealed that activities studied not significantly from those toothpaste. Conclusion:In general, higher than non-that samples.In addition, examined lower other used toothpaste.To prevent early tooth decay use these two kinds recommended.
