One of the main constituents of chocolate is cocoa. Extracts from this cocoabean husk is said to contain certain anti-cariogenic substances. The cocoa bean huskhas been shown to possess two types of mode of action, one showing antiglucosyltransferase(GTF) activity and the other antibacterial activity. They act against bacterial adhesion to the tooth surface and thereby decreasing the microbial growth. These substances are identified and are tried to incorporate in various forms for usage such…

identified from carious lesions are Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. These substances have been shown to interfere with bacterial adhesion on the tooth surface and thus resulting…
Comparison of the Antimicrobial Efficiency of Chlorhexidine And Cacao Bean Husk Extract Mouth Rinsesin Children
TLDR
Comparison of antimicrobial efficiency of chlorhexidine and cacao bean husk extract mouth rinses in children found the difference in reduction of plaque and gingival index score between the two groups was not statistically significant at any of the time intervals.
Effect of theobromine in antimicrobial activity: An in vitro study
TLDR
Theobromine though nonfluoridated toothpaste showed greater zones of inhibition than other commercially available fluoridated kid's toothpastes, and shows more antimicrobial effect against S. mutans, L. acidophilus, and E. faecalis, whereas almost a neutral effect with C. albicans.
Effects of theobromine addition on chemical and mechanical properties of a conventional glass ionomer cement.
TLDR
It could be concluded that 1% theobromine addition to GIC can be a good strategy as it keeps some of its properties and improves microhardness and biofilm deposits strengthening its role in the preventive approach of dentistry.

A Comparative Evaluation of Remineralization after an Erosive Challenge by Two Different Mouthwashes on Surface Roughness
TLDR
Within the limits of the current study, cocoa bean husk extract and fluoride mouth rinses had an effective re-mineralizing effect on surface roughness of the enamel surface after subjecting the teeth to two types of energy drink challenge.
The remineralization potential of cocoa bean extract ( Theobroma cacao ) to increase the enamel microhardness
Introduction: Remineralization is the process of returning mineral ions into a hydroxyapatite structure characterized by mineral deposition on the enamel surface. The presence of mineral deposition…
Comparative Evaluation on Antimicrobial Activity of Theobromine and Two Commercial Kids Fluoride Toothpaste – An Invitro Study
TLDR
Toothpaste containing theobromine containing toothpaste as shows higher antimicrobial effect against streptococcus mutans, lactobacillus acidophilus and enterococcus faecalis.
