AB  - Objectives The chemical composition, antimicrobial and synergistic effect, and cytotoxic activity of Citrus limon (lemon), Piper nigrum (green pepper) and Melaleuca alternifoila (tea tree) essential oils (EOs) were investigated. Methods Chemical analyses of essential oils were tested by GC-FID and GC-MS spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity assay was conducted using microdilution method against several oral bacteria and Candida spp. originating from the humans with oral disorders. The synergistic antimicrobial activity was evaluated using checkerboard method. The cytotoxicity evaluation of EOs was assessed using MTT test. Key findings Limonene (37.5%) and beta-pinene (17.9%) were the major compounds in C. limon oil, -pinene (34.4%), delta-3-carene (19.7%), limonene (18.7%) and alpha-pinene (10.4%) in P. nigrum oil and terpinen-4-ol (38.6%) and gamma-terpinene (21.7%) in M. alternifolia oil. The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity was achieved by tested three EOs, with C. limon oil being the strongest against bacteria and M. alternifolia oil strongest against fungi. The EOs demonstrated synergism; their combined application revealed an increase in antimicrobial activity. All tested essential oils showed lower cytotoxic activity in comparison with the positive control, and the obtained results confirmed a dose-dependent activity. Conclusions The results of this study encourage use of tested EOs in development of a novel agent intended for prevention or therapy of corresponding oral disorders.
