Comparing the effect of denture adhesive enrichment with three types chlorhexidine(2%) mouthwash, Matrica (Chamomile extract) and Nystatin on Candida albicans growth: in vitro

OBJECTIVES Oil pulling is an age-old practice that has gained modern popularity in promoting oral and systemic health. The scientific verification for this practice is insufficient. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of coconut oil pulling on the count of Streptococcus mutans in saliva and to compare its efficacy with that of Chlorhexidine mouthwash: in vivo. The null hypothesis was that coc...

The comparative in vitro activities of 11 iodonium salt compounds, 0.12% chlorhexidine, and four antimicrobial agents against 322 anaerobic and fastidious potential dental and periodontal bacterial pathogens were studied. Iodonium salts 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 had in vitro activities comparable to that of chlorhexidine against most isolates. These compounds may be suitable for incorporation into an ...

Background: Pneumonia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in ICU patients under mechanical ventilation. In recent years the use herbal mouthwashes, due to antimicrobial effects fewer side effects, has been studied reducing incidence ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). this study, effect Persica mouthwash prevention VAP was compared with chlorhexidine. Methods: This study double-blin...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To study the effect Achyranthes aspera, 0.2% aqueous chlorhexidine gluconate and Punica granatum oral rinse on salivary Streptococcus mutans count in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 children of 8 to 12 years of age were randomly allocated into 3 groups. Group A was given 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash, group B was given 10% A. aspera mouthwash and group C...

Aim and objectives: To determine the impact on mechanical properties surface features of ceramic-coated nickel-titanium (CC-Ni-Ti) archwires when subjected to charcoal, probiotic, chlorhexidine mouthwashes in vitro conditions. Materials methods: Eighty samples 25 mm were cut from posterior end preformed maxillary 0.016’’ CC-Ni-Ti super elastic (Koden Company, USA) distributed into four equal gr...

BACKGROUND In the author's earlier in vitro investigation, a combination of 0.25 mg/ml green tea and 7.82 mg/ml Salvadora persica L. aqueous extracts was found to exhibit significant synergistic anti-bacterial and anti-adherence effects against primary plaque colonizers biofilm. A clinical trial was needed to support these preliminary in vitro results and to investigate its efficacy as a mouthw...

Purpose To evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of the local use of egg yolk immunoglobulin against Porphyromonas gingivalis (anti-P.g. IgY) as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Methods This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving 60 systematically healthy patients with moderate to...
