“…Thus, they lead to plaque accumulation around the bracket base. [1][2][3] Increased levels of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus species have been reported to be detected in the oral cavity after bonding orthodontic attachments, and several studies have reported that there is a positive correlation between dental caries and the degree of infection with S mutans and lactobacilli. [4][5][6] These microorganisms are known to cause alterations in its microenvironment that can be responsible for the enamel decalcification and smooth surface caries during orthodontic treatment.…”

Objective: To determine the absolute and relative antibacterial activity of octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT) against total and cariogenic bacteria in saliva samples of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances during 5 days of usage. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 5 male and 13 female subjects who were selected from patients in the Clinic of Orthodontics. Each patient was given physiologic saline (PS), chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex (PVP-I), and OCT every morning for 5 days, each separated by a 2-week interval. Total and cariogenic bacteria in saliva samples of orthodontically treated patients with fixed appliances were collected during 5 days of usage. Unstimulated saliva was collected as a baseline sample. Saliva samples were collected at 15 minutes, and on the second, third, and fifth day after rinsing the mouth with any of the solutions for 30 seconds, and bacterial counts were detected. Results: OCT showed an ultimate reduction of total viable oral bacteria, Lactobacillus species, and Streptococcus mutans in vivo. OCT also had a significantly greater inhibitory effect than 0.2% CHX and 7.5% PVP-I, from the beginning of the study until the fifth day after the orthodontic appliances were bonded (P Ͻ .1). Conclusions: OCT compared favorably with respect to CHX and PVP-I complex in orthodontically treated patients with fixed appliances (P Յ .1). (Angle Orthod. 2009;79:766-772.)

“…Among many materials, stainless steel is the most commonly used material for construction of braces and archwires. Despite the recent advances in orthodontic materials, there are reports of enamel demineralization near the bracket-adhesive-enamel junction, [1][2][3][4] and orthodontic materials still act as favorable nests for biofilm formation. 5 The formation of biofilms can cause periodontal diseases or enamel decalcification, affecting approximately 50% of all patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.…”

Objective: To develop a hard coating for stainless surfaces based on silver (Ag)-platinum (Pt) alloys. Materials and Methods: Ag-Pt alloys, which have high degree of biocompatibility, excellent resistance to sterilization conditions, and antibacterial properties to different bacteria, are associated with long-term antibacterial efficiency. Approximately 1.03-mm to 2.34-mm-thick coatings, as determined by scanning electron microscopy, were deposited on stainless surfaces by the simultaneous vaporization of both metals (Ag and Pt) in an inert argon atmosphere. The coating was done by physical vapor deposition. Microorganisms and eukaryotic culture cells were grown on these surfaces. Results: The coatings released sufficient Ag ions when immersed in phosphate-buffered saline and showed significant antimicrobial potency against Streptococcus mutans and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans strains. At the same time, human gingival fibroblast cells were not adversely affected. Conclusion: Ag-Pt coatings on load-bearing orthodontic bracket surfaces can provide suitable antimicrobial activity during active orthodontic treatment. (Angle Orthod. 2012;82:151-157.)

“…Al alterar el entorno ecológico oral, la presencia de aparatología ortodóntica puede inclinar la balanza a favor de la presencia de especies de levaduras 7,13 . Las maloclusiones, son consideradas el tercer problema de salud oral más frecuente, lo que ha generado en los últimos años un incremento en los tratamientos de ortodoncia para la corrección de estas anomalías 8,14 . Tradicionalmente, al paciente con ortodoncia se le ha considerado como un paciente de bajo riesgo, y al mismo tiempo, los procedimientos ortodónticos como no invasores 6,8,14 .…”

Influence of Different Orthodontic Brackets on Adherence of Microorganisms In Vitro

Abstract: Orthodontic appliances serve as different impact zones and modify microbial adherence and colonization, acting as foreign reserves and possible sources of infection.
