  • Importance of Chlorhexidine in Maintaining Periodontal Health
    International Journal of Dentistry Research 2016; 1(1): 31-33 Review Article Importance of Chlorhexidine in Maintaining Periodontal IJDR 2016; 1(1): 31-33 December Health © 2016, All rights reserved www.dentistryscience.com Dr. Manpreet Kaur*1, Dr. Krishan Kumar1 1 Department of Periodontics, Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Rohtak-124001, Haryana, India Abstract Plaque is responsible for periodontal diseases. In order to prevent occurrence and progression of periodontal disease, removal of plaque becomes important. Mechanical tooth cleaning aids such as toothbrushes, dental floss, interdental brushes are used for removal of plaque. However, in some cases, chemical agents are used as an adjunct to mechanical methods to facilitate plaque control and prevent gingivitis. Chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash is the most commonly used and is considered as gold standard chemical agent. In this review, mechanism of action and other properties of CHX are discussed. Keywords: Plaque, Chemical agents, Chlorhexidine (CHX). INTRODUCTION Dental plaque is primary etiologic factor responsible for gingivitis and periodontitis [1]. Mechanical plaque control using toothbrushes, interdental brushes, dental floss prevent occurrence of gingivitis. However, in majority of population, mechanical methods of plaque control are ineffective due to less time spent[2] for plaque removal and lack of consistency. These limitations necessitate use of chemical plaque control agents as an adjunct to mechanical plaque control. Among various chemical agents, chlorhexidine (CHX) is considered to be a gold standard chemical agent for plaque control. Its structural formula consists of two symmetric 4-chlorophenyl rings and two biguanide groups connected by a central hexamethylene chain. Mechanism of action for CHX CHX is bactericidal and is effective against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast organisms.

Abstract: Periodontitis consists of a progressive destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Considering that probiotics are being proposed as a support to the gold standard treatment Scaling-and-Root- Planing (SRP), this study aims to assess two new formulations (toothpaste and chewing-gum). 60 patients were randomly assigned to three domiciliary hygiene treatments: Group 1 (SRP + chlorhexidine-based toothpaste) (control), Group 2 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste) and Group 3 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste + probiotics-based chewing-gum). At baseline (T0) and after 3 and 6 months (T1–T2), periodontal clinical parameters were recorded, along with microbiological ones by means of a commercial kit. As to the former, no significant differences were shown at T1 or T2, neither in controls for any index, nor in the experimental

Periodontal pathogenic bacteria like Porphyromonas gingivalis, that belongs to the complex net of oral microflora, exhibits a toxicogenic potential by releasing endotoxins, which are the lipopolysaccharide component (LPS) available in the outer cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins are released into the tissues causing damage after the cell is lysed. There are three well-defined regions in the LPS: one of them, the lipid A, has a lipidic nature, and the other two, the Core and the O-antigen, have a glycosidic nature, all of them with independent and synergistic functions. Lipid A is the “bioactive center” of LPS, responsible for its toxicity, and shows great variability along bacteria. In general, endotoxins have specific receptors at the cells, causing a wide immunoinflammatory response by inducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the production of matrix metalloproteinases.

  • Periodontal Practice Patterns
    PERIODONTAL PRACTICE PATTERNS A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Janel Kimberlay Yu, D.D.S. Graduate Program in Dentistry The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angelo Mariotti, Advisor Dr. Jed Jacobson Dr. Eric Seiber Copyright by Janel Kimberlay Yu 2010 Abstract Background: Differences in the rates of dental services between geographic regions are important since major discrepancies in practice patterns may suggest an absence of evidence-based clinical information leading to numerous treatment plans for similar dental problems and the misallocation of limited resources. Variations in dental care to patients may result from characteristics of the periodontist. Insurance claims data in this study were compared to the characteristics of periodontal providers to determine if variations in practice patterns exist. Methods: Claims data, between 2000-2009 from Delta Dental of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, New Mexico, and Tennessee, were examined to analyze the practice patterns of 351 periodontists. For each provider, the average number of select CDT periodontal codes (4000-4999), implants (6010), and extractions (7140) were calculated over two time periods in relation to provider variable, including state, urban versus rural area, gender, experience, location of training, and membership in organized dentistry. Descriptive statistics were performed to depict the data using measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion. ii Results: Differences in periodontal procedures were present across states. Although the most common surgical procedure in the study period was osseous surgery, greater increases over time were observed in regenerative procedures (bone grafts, biologics, GTR) when compared to osseous surgery.

Kathleen Stoessel, R.N., B.S.N., M.S. Susan Shoemake, B.A. Objectives • Understand the clinical classifications of pneumonia • Discuss the risk factors of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Describe the path to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Explain the role of the oral environment in the development of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Examine recommended oral care interventions and the evidence-based rationales for these patient care practices Introduction Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) among mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Pneumonia accounts for nearly 15% of all nosocomial infections and 24% to 27% of all those acquired in coronary care units and medical ICUs respectively.1,2 Approximately one quarter of all intubated patients will acquire pneumonia - at a rate of 1 to 3% per day of intubation - prolonging their hospitalization, increasing their risk of death by up to ten-fold, and adding significant costs to

  • Oral Hygiene Instruction
    Oral Hygiene Instruction Oral hygiene instruction is helpful and educational information meant to teach and guide our patients to prevent new cavities, and to maintain healthy teeth and gums. At your initial oral hygiene visit, your hygienist will instruct you on the proper methods of brushing and flossing. Follow up visits will be to further assess your progress in maintaining good oral health, and to help review and reinforce techniques of cleaning at home. The following are helpful recommendations: o Flossing is the foundation for healthy gums, so floss your teeth once a day. Dental floss will get into areas between your teeth and under your gums that your toothbrush cannot. Slide the floss between your teeth and wrap it into a "C" shape around the base of the tooth and gently under the gumline. Wipe the tooth from base to tip two or three times. Be sure to floss both sides of every tooth. o Brush your teeth twice a day, and make sure to brush your teeth after you floss, as this is a more effective method of cleaning your teeth. Use a soft bristled tooth brush (safer on your gums) and a circular motion that moves the brush bristles ‘away’* from the gums ( *on the top arch, this would mean you are brushing in a circular direction which is top-down; on the bottom arch, you would be brushing in a bottom-to-top circular motion. Use care to not speed through brushing, taking at least 2-3 minutes to do a thorough job. o Eat a well-balanced diet, avoiding excessive snacking between meals, especially sticky, sugary foods.
