Utilizing a naturopathic mouthwash with selective antimicrobial effects against multispecies oral biofilms for prevention of dysbiosis
The SL homeopathic rinse demonstrated selective action on oral bacteria, preferentially reducing pathogen bacterial load while preserving commensal species with high cytocompatibility. Future validation in human studies is needed to assess its selective antimicrobial activity to maintain a eubiotic oral microbiome and explore broader applications in oral health.
