“…[1][2][3][4][5] When checking the MS and LB scores, both appear to have a strong effect on DFS and the caries risk. We therefore believe that a chairside saliva test is very worthwhile in order to reduce a patient's caries risk.…”

“…4 The use of conventional oral hygiene procedures in orthodontic patients for plaque removal is more difficult, and, adjacent to the brackets, the clearance of plaque and carbohydrates by saliva is also reduced. 5 This may lead to caries lesions in the enamel that can occur within a month, irrespective of mechanical plaque control and the use of fluoridated dentifrice. [6][7][8] The caries prevalence in teenagers and adolescents in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is high.…”

Objective: To analyze caries-related factors shortly after orthodontic treatment and to use the Cariogram computer program to describe caries risk profiles at follow-up in these patients. Materials and Methods: One hundred orthodontic patients age 12-29 years, with a mean age of 17.5 years, were included in the study. They were divided into two groups (50 in each) based on their prebonding decayed, filled surfaces index (DFS). High (5 Ն DFS) and low (2 Յ DFS) groups were created. All patients were examined after debonding in the following order: interview, plaque score, caries examination, saliva samples, bitewing radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and intra-oral digital photos. All types of carious lesions in both the enamel and dentine were diagnosed clinically and radiographically and included in the DFS index. A paraffin-stimulated whole saliva sample was collected for estimations of secretion rate, buffer capacity, and number of mutans streptococci and lactobacilli.

“…3,4 La literatura ha demostrado que los tratamientos de ortodoncia incrementan la acumulación de placa y la colonización bacteriana por lo que resultan afectados los tejidos periodontales y dentarios. [21][22][23][24][25] Si se permite el crecimiento de esta placa aparecerán algunos cambios cuyos resultados dan lugar al establecimiento de la gingivitis tras dos a tres semanas.…”

Eficacia Del Uso Del Enjuague De Clorhexidina Durante El Tratamiento De Ortodoncia

RESUMENObjetivo: Determinar la eficacia de la clorhexidina sobre la cantidad de placa dental presente en sujetos adultos, usuarios de aparatología ortodoncica y residentes en el área metropolitana de Bucaramanga que eran atendidos en las clínicas de ortodoncia de la universidad Santo Tomas, durante el segundo semestre del año 2007. Materiales y métodos: Ensayo clínico controlado realizado con 60 sujetos adultos en tratamiento de ortodoncia. Se estableció el índice de placa OPI (Ortho-Plaque Index) y el índice gingival (GI Index). El grupo intervenido recibió 10 ml de Digluconato de Clorhexidina (0,2 %), que se utilizó en forma de enjuagues dos veces por día, sin interrupciones por quince días. Resultados: Los sujetos expuestos a la intervención tenían 2.2 veces más de probabilidad IC (1.6 a 3.3) de tener un índice OPI cuyos valores reflejaban una buena higiene oral. Conclusiones: Se podría afirmar que la exposición de los sujetos, con tratamiento de ortodoncia, al Digluconato de Clorhexidina (0.2%), por un periodo de quince días, disminuyó la placa dental significativamente.

CLOREXIDINE MOUTHWASH EFFECTIVENESS DURING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT ABSTRACTPurpose: To evaluate the efficiency of chlorhexidine mouthwash over the amount of bacterian plaque present in adults with orthodontic treatment appliances, living in the Bucaramanga metropolitan area, patients that attend the Santo Tomas University dental clinics, during the second semester of 2007. Materials and Methods: A controlled clinical essay was performed in 60 adults with orthodontic appliances. It was established the OPI plaque index (Ortho-Plaque index) and the gingival index (GI index). The experimental group received the basic maintenance therapy, chlorhexidine digluconate at 0.2% to be used as a 10 ml non dilute mouthwash, twice (2) a day for 15 days. Results: The patients exposed to the intervention had 2.2 times probability (1.6 versus 3.3) of their IC to get the OPI index whose values reflect a good oral hygiene. Conclusions:The patients with orthodontic appliances who used chlorhexidine digluconate (0.2%), for fifteen days long had a significant reduction of bacterian plaque.

“…While the technique was validated both quantitatively by comparison with mineral loss and lesion depth from transverse or longitudinal microradiography [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and qualitatively by comparison with visual detection and histology [29][30][31][32][33][34] the true strength of the technique is not its capability to detect lesions but to follow the oral health over time. The images or series of longitudinal images of a tooth over an extended period in time, can be analyzed for GF loss and presence of RF.…”

Diagnostic methods for the use in preventive dentistry are being developed continuously. Few of these find their way into general practice. Although the general trend in medicine is to focus on disease prevention and early diagnostics, in dentistry this is still not the case. Nevertheless, in dental research some of these methods seem to be promising for near future use by the general dental professional. In this paper an overview is given of a method called quantitative light-induced fluorescence or (QLF) in which visible and harmless light excites the teeth in the patient's mouth to produce fluorescent images, which can be stored on disk and computer analyzed. White spots (early dental caries) are detected and quantified as well as bacterial metabolites on and in the teeth. An overview of research to validate the technique and modeling to further the understanding of the technique by Monte Carlo simulation is given and it is shown that the fluorescence phenomena can be described by the simulation model in a qualitative way. A model describing the visibility of red fluorescence from within the dental tissue is added, as this was still lacking in current literature. An overview is given of the clinical images made with the system and of the extensive research which has been done. The QLF™ technology has been shown to be of importance when used in clinical trials with respect to the testing of toothpastes and preventive treatments. It is expected that the QLF™ technology will soon find its way into the general dental practice.
