Microfluidic and impedance analysis of rosemary essential oil: implications for dental health.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral health is closely linked to systemic conditions, particularly non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which can exacerbate oral issues. Essential oils (EOs) have emerged as potential alternatives for oral health due to their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Among these, rosemary essential oil (REO) shows promise due to its various biological activities. This study investigates the potential of REO in dental applications using microfluidic devices and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to analyze the electrical properties of REO in artificial saliva (AS) mixtures.

Results

The study demonstrated significant variations in impedance across different REO concentrations and their mixtures with AS. Higher impedance was observed in RE
