Background: The growing interest of health products based on fruits and herbs has led manufacturers of oral health products to focus on fruits and plant products, which can be replaced by conventional chemical products to improve treatment methods and pay attention to the category of preventive dentistry.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the optical properties of cranberry and Cornus mas tea with Avantes broadband light source in the range of 300-1100 nm were investigated. The quasi-optical light spectroscopy test method includes 4cc of two cranberry and Cornus mas tea, which were prepared from about 1.7 g of dried fruit of these two fruits in 40 ml of 60oC water for 15 minutes. A review of 36 articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Google has been conducted by Usage Research from 1994 to 2020 to introduce the use of this fruit in the prevention and treatment of oral diseases.
Results: Cranberry and Cornus mas tea, both have a maximum peak spectrum around 759.8 nm and a minimum transmission spectrum around 439 nm. There is an acceptable agreement between the results of the transmission spectrum (in the range of 300-1100 nm) and the absorption spectrum (in the range of 400-750 nm). Cranberries, like Cornus mas, are chemically rich sources of antioxidants and anthocyanins.
Conclusion: Spectroscopic studies in terms of optical interpolation features showed that the two fruits were not significantly different. Studies of chemical properties also suggest that polyphenols with anticariogenic properties and anthocyanins by inhibiting interleukins, reduce the use of antibiotics to prevent and treat periodontal disease, prevent bacterial resistance in they oppose dental treatments using antibiotics. Therefore, there is no significant difference between these two fruits in terms of photochemical properties, which shows that these two fruits can be a good alternative for each other in terms of health and treatment in oral use.
