ABSTRACT

An antimicrobial preparation consisting of a monolaurin dispersion also containing 2 per cent hydrogen peroxide is described. In laboratory experiments the antimicrobial effects of this dispersion has been tested against a variety of bacteria, a virus and a strain of oral yeast. For the tested bacteria and the virus the results showed more favourable effects with the described dispersion than with two simultaneously tested standard antimicrobial preparations.

The results of performed preliminary clinical experiments Show effectiveness by the dispersion both as a prophylactic agent after oral surgery and as a treatment for some common acute and chronic oral mucosal pathologic conditions.
