“…Another side effect of chlorhexidine discussed in the literature is brownish staining of the teeth. However, in the present study only two cases showed these characteristics, i.e., 15% reported small areas of staining that appeared after 30 days of using the spray, which was removed easily by dental prophylaxis …”

“…Many researchers still report that a major side effect of chlorhexidine is its bitter taste, which means that treatment has to be restricted to short periods, which often leads to abandonment . The authors also evaluated at intervals of 7, 14, 30, and 60 days to monitor the progress of spray applications and to determine whether there were complications resulting from staining and taste alterations, which might cause the patient to interrupt the procedure.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of .12% chlorhexidine applied via spray and the acceptance. A total of 26 individuals with mental health issues, aged 7-14, were included into two groups: placebo (control, n = 13) and chlorhexidine (experimental, n = 13). Both groups received two daily applications of spray during 2 months. The periodontal conditions were evaluated by the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) and gingival index (GI). The evaluation of acceptance of the application method (spray) was assessed by questionnaire. Data were analyzed with nonparametric tests, with a significance level of 5%. Regarding the OHI-S index, only the experimental group showed significant change during the evaluations (p < 0.001). Regarding the GI, both groups showed significant changes during the evaluations. The method of application was well accepted by patients and caregivers, and .12% chlorhexidine solution applied via spray significantly reduced the rates of dental and gingival biofilm.

“…Chlorhexidine has been accepted as the golden standard in clinical research studies. 30,31 That is why we also compared an antibacterial toothpaste by switching with chlorhexidine which has already been accepted as a golden standard antibacterial agent. In the third group, subjects brushed for 3 minutes, with a commonly used toothpaste (Ipana Ⓡ Procter & Gamble, Istanbul, Turkey) which possessed no antibacterial activity other than that provided by 0.32% sodium fluoride only, while the fourth group patients brushed with an antimicrobial toothpaste (One Drop Only Ⓡ , One Drop Only Gmbh, Berlin, Germany), which included tea tree oil (0.37%), peppermint oil (2.6%), clove oil (concentration not disclosed by the manufacturer) and bisabolol (0.35%).…”

Investigation of bacteremia after toothbrushing in orthodontic patients

et al. 2009

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence rate of bacteremia following toothbrushing with toothpastes composed of several antibacterial agents and compare the results with the conventional oral hygiene maintaining methods in orthodontic patients. Methods: This clinical study included 100 adult orthodontic patients who were divided into 4 groups. Each group comprised of 25 patients, wearing fixed orthodontic appliances. In the first group, bacteremia was assessed after toothbrushing without using any toothpaste. In the second group, a 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse was used before brushing with no toothpaste. In the third group, subjects brushed with a commonly used toothpaste which did not include an additional antimicrobial agent. The fourth experimental group used toothpaste which included tea tree oil, clove oil, peppermint oil and bisabolol as antimicrobial elements. Pre-and post-brushing blood samples were obtained using a strict aseptic technique. All samples were microbiologically evaluated using blood culture bottles. Results: Toothbrushing in orthodontic patients yielded to an increase in the occurrence rate of bacteremia when using normal toothpaste or no toothpaste at all. Conclusions: The use of chlorhexidine mouthwash before toothbrushing, and brushing with antimicrobial toothpaste did not show a statistically significant difference in preventing the occurrence of bacteremia (p ＞ 0.05).

“…Os métodos mecânicos para limpeza dentária devem ser a escolha antes da utilização de qualquer tipo de agente químico para o controle rotineiro do biofilme dentário. O controle químico do biofilme dentário deverá ser empregado de forma suplementar, quando o controle mecânico, no sentido de evitar o acúmulo de bactérias sobre os dentes, não puder ser realizado diariamente ou estiver inadequado (ANDERSON, 2003;BOZKURT et al, 2005;PARASKEVAS, 2005;LAING et al, 2008).…”

The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of three different formulations of chlorhexidine gel in the concentrations of 0.2%, 1% and 2% for the control of plaque accumulation and gingivitis. This was a double-blind, longitudinal, non-crossover study in 48 children between 7 to 11 years of age. Subjects were randomly assigned to 4 different groups: G 1 (placebo), G 2 (0.2% chlorhexidine gel), G 3 (1% chlorhexidine gel) and G 4 (2% chlorhexidine gel). The chlorhexidine gel was administered once a week during 4 weeks. The clinical evaluations were made after 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months of the last application of the chlorhexidine gel. Mean plaque and gingival scores were reduced over the fourweek trial period for experimental and control groups. There was no significant difference (p<0.05) between the groups treated with chlorhexidine gel when compared with the placebo group in the reduction of plaque and gingival scores. The results indicated that different formulations of chlorhexidine gel did not produce an effective inhibitor of plaque growth. Within the limitations of the present study design, further studies are required to clarify the role of chlorhexidine to prevent caries and periodontal disease.

The Effects of Three Oral Sprays on Plaque and Gingival Inflammation

Abstract: These results indicate that both CHX and CHX/B-HCl sprays have equal clinical effectiveness, but only B-HCl spray has less anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects. Furthermore, CHX/B-HCl spray causes more side effects.
