Antimicrobial efficacy of 3 oral antiseptics containing octenidine, polyhexamethylene biguanide, or Citroxx: can chlorhexidine be replaced?
BACKGROUND Use of oral antiseptics decreases the bacterial load in the oral cavity. OBJECTIVE To compare the antimicrobial activity of 3 novel oral antiseptics with that of chlorhexidine, which is considered the "gold standard" of oral hygiene. DESIGN Comparative in vitro study. METHODS Four common oral microorganisms (Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, and F...
متن کاملEfficacy of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide-containing Antimicrobial Foam Dressing Against MRSA Relative to Standard Foam Dressing.
Many modern foam wound dressings possess a variety of attributes that are designed to create a supportive wound-healing environment. These attributes include absorbing exudate, providing optimum moisture balance at the wound surface, and preventing maceration of surrounding tissue. However, studies suggest that controlling wound bioburden should also be targeted when developing wound ther...
متن کاملMaximum Inhibitory Dilution of Mouthwashes Containing Chlorhexidine and Polyhexamethylene Biguanide against Salivary Staphylococcus Aureus
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the in vitro maximum inhibitory dilution (MID) of two chlorhexidinebased oral mouthwashes (CHX): Noplak, Periogard, and one polyhexamethylene biguanide-based mouthwash (PHMB): Sanifill Premium against 28 field Staphylococcus aureus strains using the agar dilution method. MATERIALS AND METHODS For each product, decimal dilutions ranging f...
متن کاملPolyhexamethylene biguanide functionalized cationic silver nanoparticles for enhanced antimicrobial activity
Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), a broad spectrum disinfectant against many pathogens, was used as a stabilizing ligand for the synthesis of fairly uniform silver nanoparticles. The particles formed were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic mobility, and TEM to measure their morphology and surface chemistry. PHMB-functionalized silver n...
متن کاملAntimicrobial efficacy of octenidine hydrochloride, MTAD and chlorhexidine gluconate mixed with calcium hydroxide.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate whether mixing with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] affects the antimicrobial action of Octenidine hydrochloride (Octenisept), MTAD and chlorhexidine against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Freshly grown cultures of Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans and a mixture of both strains were incubated in a...
