Abstract Aim Black extrinsic tooth stain (BETS) is a health challenge that commonly affects children. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans ( Aa ) presents in higher prevalence within the polymicrobial community of BETS. In this study, anti-planktonic and anti-sessile activities cinnamon essential oil (CEO) its individual compounds against were evaluated. The preventive effect CEO active substances on BETS formation was also studied vitro. Methods isolated from preschool child with...
