“…Most orthodontists agree that patients seeking orthodontic treatment run a high risk of developing caries, 26,27 but the question is how this risk should be estimated. In this study, at debonding, we have used an advanced caries risk assessment (Cariogram), which has previously been used in both children and adults 28,29 but never on orthodontic patients.…”

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.

“…toothpaste, varnishes, gels and mouth rinse), antimicrobials (e.g. chlorhexidine (CHX)), diet counseling, xylitol gum and casein derivatives (Derks et al, 2004). Topical fluoride varnishes can reduce WSLs during orthodontic treatment and they are assumed to have the same effect following orthodontic therapy (Stecksén-Blicks et al, 2007).…”

“…6,7 Entre tanto, se ha reportado que la prevalencia de nuevas lesiones del esmalte en pacientes con aparatología fija que usan crema dental con flúor es del 13% al 75%. 8 Un tratamiento ortodóncico, en lugar de relacionarse con un alto riesgo de caries debería asociarse, por el contrario, a un riesgo menor ya que es un tratamiento estético y generalmente, voluntario por parte del paciente. 9 La aparición de lesiones de caries cuestiona el tratamiento ortodóncico en sí mismo.…”

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.
