Abstract:Objective:Single dose of systemic antibiotics and short-term use of mouthwashes reduce bacteremia. However, the effects of a single dose of preprocedural rinse are still controversial. This study evaluated, in periodontally diseased patients, the effects of a pre-procedural mouth rinse on induced bacteremia.Material and Methods:Systemically healthy individuals with gingivitis (n=27) or periodontitis (n = 27) were randomly allocated through a sealed envelope system to: 0.12% chlorhexidine pre-procedural rinse (… Show more
“…The risk of bacteremia has been associated with periodontal health status in a systematic review, suggesting a higher risk of bacteremia associated with gingival inflammation (Tomas, Diz, Tobias, Scully, & Donos, ). A recent randomized clinical trial (RCT) concluded that periodontal therapy (by means of scaling and root planing, SRP) induced bacteremia in both gingivitis and periodontitis patients, but the magnitude and frequency were greater among periodontitis patients (Balejo et al, ).…”

Background: In Europe cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 3.9 million deaths (45% of deaths), being ischaemic heart disease, stroke, hypertension (leading to heart failure) the major cause of these CVD related deaths. Periodontitis is also a chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) with a high prevalence, being severe periodontitis, affecting 11.2% of the world's population, the sixth most common human disease.

“…9 Most studies on oral bacterial focused on the number of different species of bacteria present in the oral cavity or tooth surfaces the general report is that the number of oral bacteria is higher in neglected/dirty mouth as well as patients with increased pathogenicity of oral bacterial due to impaired immunity and those with increased plaque and calculus accumulation. [10][11][12] This study, aimed at determining the salivary bacterial count in apparently healthy individuals, showed that the mean bacterial count of apparently healthy Nigerian was 8.41 × 108 + 1.06 × 10 9 per mL of saliva. A progressively increasing salivary bacterial count progressively was also observed as oral hygiene tends towards becoming poor.…”
Aim:To determine the relationship between salivary bacterial count and some oral lesions.
Materials and methods:This research was designed as a crosssectional study assessing the mean bacterial count in the saliva of Nigerians in Ile-Ife who has no history of medical illness. Subjects were randomly selected from consenting staffs and students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Oral examinations were done and their saliva collected using spitting method. The bacterial count was determined in the laboratory by culture the bacteria after which the counting was done using colony counter. Data analysis was done using STATA 13 software.
