A prospective experimental comparative study on the clinical and antimicrobial effects of chlorine dioxide based toothpaste and mouthrinse in periodontitis patients- A One Year Follow-up Study
Abstract
Aim: The present study was aimed to assess and compare the clinical and antimicrobial effects of sodium chlorite based toothpaste and mouthrinse in periodontitis patients.
Materials and methods: A total 50 generalized chronic periodontitis patient between the ages of 18 and 55 years were enrolled in the study and divided under two categories (A and B). Clinical and microbiological parameters were recorded prior to phase 1 therapy; and subjects were put on conventional oral hygiene regime and sodium chlorite based toothpaste and mouthrinse.
Results: The results of this study showed that there was significant decrease in clinical, and microbiological parameters from baseline to 12 months in both the groups (p < 0.01). The subjects under test group (sodium chlorite based toothpaste and mouthrinse) showed a highly significant reduction to all the parameters as compared to subjects under group B.
Conclusion: sodium chlorite based toothpaste and mouthrinse will be a true alternative for maintaining oral hygiene.
... This mouthwash is a topical bactericide, its action is to reduce bacteria in the oral cavity by inhibiting ammonia production and preventing the ulcers from secondary contamination, this is the goal of healing the lesions. 10,[18][19][20] Complete healing of these lesions will only occur if the serum urea values return to normal. It was difficult to achieve in this patient although he had already undergone haemodialysis but the kidney function was difficult to improve, this was because he was suffering from AKI on CKD which lead the kidney function became difficult to work normally. ...
Background: Uremic stomatitis is a rare oral manifestation of chronic and acute kidney disease. The incidence of uremic stomatitis is low, especially because process disease develops gradually over years and occurs in advanced renal failure. This disease is associated with high levels of blood urea. There are four forms of uremic stomatitis that have been identified, namely ulcerative, erythemopultaceous, hyperkeratotic and hemorrhagic. Usually the lesions were seen on buccal mucosa, dorsal or ventral surface of tongue, gingiva, lips and floor of mouth. Purpose: To discuss the challenges in treating uremic stomatitis patient with poor systemic condition. Case: A 73 year old male patient was referred from cardiology department to oral medicine department because there were painful lesions on lips, tongue, palate and buccal mucosa. He was a chronic kidney disease patient whose laboratory results showed high urea and creatinine values. Case management: The Patient was given oral hygiene instruction to clean his teeth and tongue with a gauze soaked in NaCl at least three times a day, compressing the lips and rinse with chlorine dioxide based mouthwash (Oxyfresh®, USA) three times a day. The improvement of oral lesions were not significant because the blood urea and creatinine value were still high. Conclusion: Management of uremic stomatitis needs multidisciplinary teamwork in order to achieve the kidney function and other comorbidities improvement as well as oral lesions to improve the quality of life.
Aim: The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplement of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in nonsurgical treatment outcome of chronic periodontitis patients after phase 1 periodontal therapy. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 generalized chronic periodontitis patient between the aged ranges between 18 and 55 years were enrolled in the study and divided into two categories (A and B). Clinical and microbiological parameters were recorded prior to phase 1 therapy; and subjects were put on conventional oral hygiene regime. The subjects under group B were incorporated with CoQ10 as nutritional dietary supplement (TDS). Results: The results of this study showed that there was significant decrease in clinical and microbiological parameters from baseline to 4 months in both groups (P < 0.01). The subjects under group B incorporated with dietary supplement of CoQ10 showed a highly significant reduction to all the parameters when compared to subjects under group A. Conclusion: Long-term regular intake of nutritional dietary supplement of CoQ10 is more beneficial in nonsurgical treatment outcome of periodontal disease.
Recent advances in research technology have allowed researchers to study bacteria in their natural environment. Dental biofilm forms via an ordered sequence of events, resulting in structured and functionally organized species rich microbial community and modern molecular biological techniques have identified about 1000 different bacterial species in the dental biofilm, twice as many as can be cultured. Sites for biofilm formation include all kinds of surfaces: natural materials above and below ground, metals, plastics, medical implant materials-even plant and body tissue. Wherever you find a combination of moisture, nutrients and a surface, you are likely to find biofilm. The biofilm is used to describe the communities of micro-organisms attached to a surface; such microbes are usually spatially organized into three-dimension structure and are enclosed in matrix of extracellular material derived both from the cells themselves and from the environment. Dental biofilm pathogenicity in the oral cavity is magnified by specific biofilm characteristics and modern molecular biological techniques have identified about 1000 different bacterial species in the dental biofilm, twice as many as can be cultured. Adaptation to a biofilm lifestyle involves regulation of a vast set of genes, and the micro-organisms are thus able to optimize phenotypic properties for the particular environment.
Oral sex is commonly practiced by sexually active male-female and same-gender couples of various ages, including adolescents. The various type of oral sex practices are fellatio, cunnilingus and analingus. Oral sex is infrequently examined in research on adolescents; oral sex can transmit oral, respiratory, and genital pathogens. Oral health has a direct impact on the transmission of infection; a cut in your mouth, bleeding gums, lip sores or broken skin increases chances of infection. Although oral sex is considered a low risk activity, it is important to use protection and safer sex precautions. There are various methods of preventing infection during oral sex such as physical barriers, health and medical issues, ethical issues and oral hygiene and dental issues. The lesions or unhealthy periodontal status of oral cavity accelerates the phenomenon of transmission of infections into the circulation. Thus consequences of unhealthy or painful oral cavity are significant and oral health should be given paramount importance for the practice of oral sex.
