“…However, in the oral cavity, the mechanical methods of plaque control alone are not adequate for maintaining gingival health and preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases due to the lack of access to some areas. Antimicrobial mouthwashes increase the efficacy of mechanical methods and prevent gingival and dental diseases ( 8 , 9 ). Chlorhexidine digluconate has a long history of inhibiting dental plaque and is considered the gold standard in decreasing microbial counts.…”

Background Surface roughness and topography of composite resin materials have a significant role in biofilm aggregation, periodontitis, and recurrent caries. The present study evaluated the effect of the Waterpik oral irrigation device (OID) with different solution [water/ chlorhexidine (CHX)] on the surface roughness and topography of microhybrid (x-tra fil) and nanohybrid (Tetric N-Ceram Bulk) bulk-fill composite resins. Material and Methods Disk-shaped samples were prepared from each composite resin, measuring 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height, and assigned to three groups in terms of treatment (n=19): group A, control (storage in distilled water); group B, OID with water; group C, OID with 0.5% CHX. The samples were treated for eight weeks, simulating one-year use of OID. Profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate and compare quantitatively surface roughness (Ra) and qualitative topography of composite resin surfaces before and after treatment. The data were analyzed with paired-samples, Wilcoxon, and generalized estimating equations tests (α=0.05). Results The application of OID increased the Ra of composite resin compared to the control group ( P <0.001). No significant difference was detected between the two solutions (water and CHX) (P=0.615). The effect of composite resin type and the cumulative effect of composite resin type and OID solution were not significant on the surface roughness changes of the samples ( P =0.243 and P =0.464, respectively). Conclusions OID with water and CHX solutions increased the surface roughness and topographic changes of microhybrid and nanohybrid bulk-fill composite resins. Key words: Composite resins, irrigation, mouthrinse, surface roughness, topography.

Dental plaque is the principal etiological agent for the development and progression of gingival and periodontal diseases. Three different mouthwash types were compared in this study for the periodontal healing process based on the results. For all bacterial strains, the culture type collection is used. The serial dilution process is used for preparing every mouthwash and adding it to the tubes with a specific dilution. In certain microorganisms of the respective mouthwash, the last tube dilution that does not show any turbidity will be considered MIC. The three types of mouthwashes were compared in terms of the ability to inhibit microbial growth. Twenty-four hours after the agar was solidified and the colony forms (CFU) units counted, the plates were incubated. This study showed that bacterial growth inhibition might occur in the three types of mouthwash. Boht, Behsa and Kin-gingival mouthwashes had a significant difference in their antimicrobial effect. This study showed that they were unable to perform s after 24 hours of in vitro incubation while the bacterial count was lowered after two weeks of in vivo use in the boht washings. Continuous exposure to bacteria may be necessary to wash the mouth, especially for Behsa and Boht. It is difficult to remove all bacteria from the mechanical plaque controls; antibacterial mouthwash can cause additive. In the current study, three types of mouthwash have compared antimicrobial effects. The results showed only that bacterial counts are affected by mouthwash. Based on this study's results, Boht mouthwash is more effective than Kin Gingival and Behsa mouthwash for oral microorganisms, but further clinical studies are necessary to confirm our findings.

“…One needs to prove that the change in data is not a product of chance but indeed caused by tracked parameters. Standard statistical analysis methods employed for this purpose are one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t test [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. These tests are only suitable for datapoints that follow the standard distribution.…”

Nanotopography Evaluation of NiTi Alloy Exposed to Artificial Saliva and Different Mouthwashes

Nitinol (NiTi) alloy is a widely used material for the production of orthodontic archwires. Its corrosion behavior in conditions that exist in the oral cavity still remains a great characterization challenge. The motivation behind this work is to reveal the influence of commercially available mouthwashes on NiTi orthodontic archwires by performing non-electrochemical corrosion tests and quantifying the changes in the nanotopography of commercially available NiTi orthodontic wires. In this study, we examined the behavior of NiTi alloy archwires exposed for 21.5 days to different corrosive media: artificial saliva, Eludril®, Aquafresh®, and Listerine®. The corrosion was characterized by contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) before and after the corrosion tests. A novel analysis methodology was developed to obtain insight into locations of material gain or material loss based on standard surface roughness parameters Sa, Sdr, Ssk, and S10z. The developed methodology revealed that fluoride-containing mouthwashes (Aquafresh® and Listerine®) dominantly cause material loss, while chloride-containing mouthwash (Eludril®) can cause both material loss and material gain. The sample exposed to artificial saliva did not display significant changes in any parameter.
