Research discussed by the source site examines cocoa bean husk extract (CBHE) for antibacterial and anticavity potential. One cited pediatric study reported changes in mutans streptococci counts and plaque scores after a CBHE mouth rinse. Study methods and outcomes matter when interpreting these findings.

Theobromine and enamel
Theobromine is a naturally occurring cocoa alkaloid. Studies have investigated its relationship to hydroxyapatite crystal formation and enamel remineralization. These findings are an area of research; they do not replace individualized advice from a dentist.
