“…In the present study, the mean difference of PI values between the three groups at the end of one-month revealed that 0.2% CHX group had the highest value of 0.9175 and 0.75% BA group had the least value of 0.4705 and this difference was statistically significant (p value=0.006). These results were similar to other research by Walsh et al and Mohammadi and Abbot [17,18]. The superior effect of CHX can be attributed to its substantive nature which helps maintain a potent sustained release and ability to help inhibit adherence of microorganisms to a surface thereby, preventing growth and development of biofilms [17,18].…”

Aim: Boric acid has been reported to have antibacterial and antiinflammatory properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 0.75% boric acid irrigation as an adjunct to scaling and root planing on clinical and microbiological parameters and compare this method with 0.2% chlorhexidine and saline irrigation in patients with chronic gingivitis.Methods: 60 patients were recruited and divided equally into three groups: I. Saline group, II.0.2% chlorhexidine group and III. 0.75% boric acid group. Subgingival plaque samples were collected after supragingival scaling, prior to subgingival irrigation and processed immediately for analysis of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. At baseline, 2 weeks and one month after SRP, clinical parameters including plaque index, gingival index, sulcular bleeding index, probing pocket depth were assessed along with the subgingival plaque sample.Results: Significant reduction in clinical parameters and mean levels of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia were noted at 2 weeks and one-month in all treatment groups. A significantly greater mean reduction of Porphyromonas gingivalis was found in the 0.75% boric acid group. Conclusion:0.75% boric acid irrigation could be considered as an adjunct to scaling and root planning in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe gingivitis.

“…Beside conventional scalers and curettes, ultrasonic systems are commonly used for the removal of subgingival calculus and bacterial plaque [6]. Bactericidal chemicals as Chlorhexidine digluconate are useful adjuncts in the treatment of periodontitis [7].…”

Clinical efficacy of semiconductor laser application as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing

The higher reduction in tooth mobility and probing depths is probably not predominantly related to bacterial reduction in the periodontal pockets but to the de-epithelization of the periodontal pockets leading to an enhanced connective tissue attachment. The application of the diode laser in the treatment of inflammatory periodontitis at the irradiation parameters described above is a safe clinical procedure and can be recommended as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing.

“…Preprocedural rinse such as chlorhexidine (CHX) in varying concentrations, are being used to reduce the bacterial contamination before ultrasonic scaling and periodontal surgery. Chlorhexidine with a dilution of 0.2% is highly effective in inhibiting subgingival plaque formation and hence prevents development of gingivitis [21]. Chlorhexidine is a cationic bisguanide molecule which can strongly bind to the hydroxyappetite, the organic pellicle of the tooth, oral mucosa, salivary protein and bacteria thereby exhibiting superior substantivity in the oral cavity [22].…”

To estimate the antimicrobial effect of 0.2% Chlorhexidine and HiOra mouth wash in reducing the bacterial load. Objectives:1.To evaluate the clinical efficiency of 0.2% chlorhexidine as a pre rinsing mouthwash. 2.To evaluate the clinical efficiency of HiOra mouthwash as a pre rinsing mouthwash. 3.To evaluate the microbial load without use of pre-rinsing mouthwashes. Materials and Methods:This study is a randomized clinical study in which 45 patients of both sexes within the age range of 20 to 70 from both the genders were selected. Patients were categorized into three groups (group A, B, C) based on random selection.Un-stimulated saliva was collected from all the three groups prior to the procedure. Group A was given normal saline mouth rinse, group B was given 0.2% Chlorhexidine, and Group C was given herbal mouthwash (HiOra) as a pre procedural rinse. After rinsing with mouthwashes saliva samples are further collected. All the samples collected were sent to the laboratory for analyzing colony forming units (CFU).Conclusions: Pre-procedural rinse significantly reduce the amount of microbial load of aerosols. chlorhexidine was found to be more effective than herbal mouthwash.
