Bacterial comparison of preoperative rinsing and swabbing for oral surgery using 0.2% chlorhexidine

Abstract

The present study demonstrates that the use of CHX as an antimicrobial agent is effective in reducing the overall number of bacterial colonies in the oral cavity. Rinsing is a more effective method of doing this.

Comparison between effectivity of povidone Iodin 1% application with swab technique and rinse to the number of bacteria colonization as an aseptic action in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Sumatera Utara

“…This is because the rinsing technique can reach areas in the oral cavity that are hard to reach such as tooth cracks. 4 In table 1 there are variations in the number of bacterial colonies in the control group using swab techniques on number 7, 9, 10, control group with a rinsing technique on number 3 and 5, and 1% povidone iodine group number 7 and 8. This is likely due to different bacterial oral cavity factors in the oral cavity for each individual so it causes the varied results.…”

“…There were group rinsed with 15 ml of 0.9% normal saline and 1% Povidone Iodine for 30 s, whereas the other group had their mouths swabbed with a gauze swab soaked in 0.9% normal saline and 1% Povidone Iodine. 4 All the participants for swab with control group and treatment group, the research subject was seated in the dental unit. Soak sterile gauze in 0.9% normal saline and 1% Povidone Iodine in a plastic cup.…”

“…When applying antimicrobial agents, two broad techniques are generally used which is mouth rinse and swabbing. 4 The oral swab technique covers the entire oral cavity, teeth, the soft tissue of the mouth including the buccal mucosa, vestibule, gingiva and floor of the mouth and the dorsum of the tongue. 5 Mouth rinse may be better than swabbing in oral decontamination, because swabbing does not achieve cleanliness of the lingual, occlusal, and interproximal surfaces.…”

Comparison of the In vitro Activity of Five Antimicrobial Drugs against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms

“…The proportion of Methicillin Resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP) among S. pseudintermedius isolates from clinical infections in the USA and Europe has risen since 2000 ( Frank and Loeffler, 2012 ) and a link between antimicrobial treatments within 30 days and MRSP infections has been identified in dogs ( Weese et al, 2012 ). Biocide resistances can also develop during chlorhexidine treatment ( Johnson et al, 2015 ). Resistance to chlorhexidine can be conferred by carriage of qac A/B or smr genes conding for efflux pumps.…”

The Mixture of Topical Anesthetic and Chlorhexidine at the Delivery Site in Microbial Reduction Efficiency

“…Prophylaxis antibiotics are recommended in some circumstances prior to tooth extraction, dental cleaning, dental implant surgery and dentoalveolar surgery to reduce postoperative infections [11 -14]. Among the several antiseptic agents available, Chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash is the gold standard for infection control due to its efficiency and wide range of antimicrobial spectrum [15]. However, using antiseptic mouthwash may not be appropriate for those allergic to the agents.…”
