Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is a universal advice from dental care professionals to brush twice daily with a fluoride dentifrice. It would be ideal to incorporate an effective anti-microbial agent such as chlorhexidine in a dentifrice formulation. A well-known side effect of chlorhexidine is tooth discoloration. Reduced concentrations have been suggested to decrease side effects. The low dosage 0.12% chlorhexidine dentifrice gel, which is available in the Netherlands, was the subject of two research projects as presented in this thesis. It appeared to be as effective as a regular dentifrice in the prevention of plaque accumulation and is therefore a poor alternative because it is does not contain fluoride. This thesis also shows that a 0.2% CHX mouthwash does provide a benefit which can be used in conjunction with a regular fluoride toothpaste. Lasers are used throughout the medical field for different indication and have been suggested as an adjunct to scaling and root planing in patients with periodontitis. Two research projects as presented in this thesis showed that there is no evidence to support the adjunctive use of the water cooled Nd:YAG laser. The effect of sub-gingival debridement as performed with manual and/or power-driven instruments in periodontitis patients as well as during periodontal maintenance care was not improved when followed by the application of this laser. An extensive literature review supported these findings. These results therefore support a firm statement to refute the use of laser technologies in non-surgical periodontal treatment based on the lack of clinical efficacy and the potential extra costs."--Samenvatting auteur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on oral health promotion and the impact of systemic disease in the development of oral disease, as well as how to introduce, apply, and communicate prevention to a patient with a defined risk profile. Prevention in Clinical Oral Health Care integrates preventive approaches into clinical practice, and is a valuable tool for all health care professionals to integrate oral health prevention as a component of their overall preventive message to the patient. Discusses risk-based approaches to prevent problems such as caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Topics are written at a level that can be understood by both practicing dental health team members and by dental hygiene and dental students so strategies can be applied to better understand the patient's risk for oral disease and how to prevent future disease. Identifies the barriers, oral health care needs, and preventive strategies for special populations such as children, the elderly, and the physically or mentally disabled. Explores the development of a culturally sensitive dental practice and strategies to make the dental environment more welcoming to individuals with different cultural backgrounds. Discusses how to gather patient information, the synthesis of the patient's data, and the application of the information collected in order to evaluate the patient's risk for disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of increasing antibiotic resistance, stronger antibiotics are reserved for serious active infection, paving the way for a greater use of herbal antibiotics. This book helps dentists in implementing safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement the current practice guidelines. Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem world-wide. Oral health is integral to general well-being and relates to the quality-of-life that extends beyond the functions of the craniofacial complex. The standard Western medicine has had only limited success in the prevention of periodontal disease and in the treatment of a variety of oral diseases. The dentist needs to be more informed regarding the use, safety and effectiveness of the various traditional medicines and over-the-counter products. Herbal extracts have been used in dentistry for reducing inflammation, as antimicrobial plaque agents, for preventing release of histamine and as antiseptics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals and analgesics. They also aid in healing and are effective in controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis and thereby improving immunity. The 26 chapters in this unique book explore all the measures to utilize the natural oral care obtained from plants, animals and mineral drugs for dental care.

Abstract: Background: Chlorhexidine (CHX) is the most effective antiseptic mouthwash known and yet, side effects such as tooth discolorations and bitter taste exist. A new product of CHX with an anti-discoloration system (ADS) was supposed to minimize these side effects while maintaining the antiseptic effects. The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of the CHX with and without an ADS on stains, plaque accumulation and gingivitis development. Material and Methods This double blinded RCCT included 26 healthy dental students. After a preparatory period (3 weeks) of professional prophylaxis and optimal tooth brushing, the participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group P (Placebo), Group T1 (0.12% CHX without ADS) and Group T2 (0.12% CHX with ADS). During 3 weeks of abolished oral hygiene, the participants were asked to rinse with a mouthwash twice daily. Allocation was concealed until after the baseline examination. The clinical parameters were assessed on Days 0, 7, 14 and 21 and included the Discoloration Index (DI), the Plaque Index (PII) and Gingival Index (GI). Results All 26 participants completed the study with good compliance. At baseline, there were no significant differences for any parameters between any of the groups. Throughout the study, there were no significant differences in mean DI, PII or GI between group T2 and group P. However, significant differences in mean DI between group T2 and group T1 on Day 14 (0.190.15 vs. 0.870.56, p=0.007) and on Day 21 (0.210.17 vs. 1.130.59, p=0.001) were noted. Also, the mean PII between group T2 and group T1 on Day 7 (0.890.40 vs. 0.130.09, pConclusions CHX with ADS appeared to be effective in preventing stain on teeth. However, the efficacy of preventing plaque accumulation and gingivitis development was greatly hampered by the addition of ADS. In fact, CHX mouthwash with ADS showed no superior effect over placebo on maintenance of oral hygiene or prevention of gingivitis. DOI: 10.5353/th_b4839518 Subjects: Chlorhexidine Gingivitis

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local antimicrobial therapy in periodontitis involves direct placement of an antimicrobial agent(s) into subgingival sites. Use of the chlorhexidine chip (CHX) in conjunction with phase I periodontal therapy has shown some effectiveness in reducing periodontal probing depth, clinical attachment loss and bleeding on probing. Patients with chronic periodontitis having periodontal pocket depth 5 mm with age group 25-60 belonging to both sexes were included in the present study. The test site and the control site were randomly assigned. Along with phase I periodontal therapy, test sites received CHX chip while control site received placebo chip. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) & gingival margin position (GP) were assessed at all selected sites at baseline and subsequently at 1,3, 6 and 9 months following the day of CHX chip & placebo chip placement. Radiographs were taken at baseline, 6 and 9 months. The results of the present study favours the use of chlorhexidine gluconate chip as an adjunct to phase I periodontal therapy in treatment of chronic periodontitis."
