Valutazione del rischio della presenza di alcol nei collutori
No full textObjectives.
To describe the risks for oral mucosa induced by ethylic alcohol in mouthwashes with a particular attention to middle- and long-term risk of cancer development
Materials and methods.
The available literature was reviewed beginning from the early studies in the ‘70ies up to most recent publications.
Results.
The issue of the risks induced by alcohol in mouthwashes is still a matter of debate; However, many authors in recent years have become more and more cautious, sometime advising not to use products containing alcohol.
Conclusions.
Ethylic alcohol has always been one of the most frequently employed component in drug and mouthwash production; according to some authors, there are now some evidence against the long term use of mouthwashes containing alcohol
I cementi vetroionomerici : nuove prospettive nella pratica clinica
No full textI cementi vetroionomerici (CVI) sono materiali di introduzione piuttosto recente in odontoiatria, essendo comparsi sul mercato a metà degli anni Settanta. Fin dalle prime formulazioni mostravano vantaggi considerevoli: la creazione di un legame chimico sia con lo smalto che con il collagene dentinale
Valutazione clinica comparativa fra due collutori agli oli essenziali con e senza alcol
No full textObjectives.
Essential oils have been used for years as components of mouthwashes. Although their antiseptic potency is inferior to that of chlorhexidine, they can be used daily as an adjunct to daily oral hygiene and as a treatment for halitosis. The aim of this prospective, double-blind, comparative study was to evaluate the efficacy of two mouthwashes containing essential oils, one without alcohol and the other containing 22% alcohol. Of the 31 patients enrolled, 28 completed the protocol, which consisted in two 15-day cycles (one for each product tested) of twice-a-day rinses.
Materials and methods.
Full Mouth Bleeding Scores (FMBS%), Full Mouth Plaque Scores (FMPS%) and Stain Indexes (SI) were recorded. Patients also filled in a questionnaire regarding their personal reactions to each mouthwash.
Results.
The two products were equally effective in reducing oral hygiene indexes. The use of the mouthwash containing alcohol was associated with an increased sensation of “burning”.
Conclusions.
Despite the similar antiplaque activities of these products, the risk/benefit ratio of daily use of mouthwashes containing alcohol (sometimes at high concentrations) must be examined according to recent scientific evidence
Collutorio modificato per la riduzione delle pigmentazioni da clorexidina
No full textLe pigmentazioni dentarie da clorexidina rappresentano uno degli effetti collaterali più comuni dei collutori contenenti questo principio attivo, il cui utilizzo deve essere pertanto limitato nel tempo. Scopo di questo studio è valutare l’efficacia di un collutorio con clorexidina allo 0,2% senza alcool contenente un sistema antipigmentazione, denominato ADS®, confrontato con un collutorio tradizionale contenente clorexidina allo 0,2% in soluzione alcolica, nel contrastare le pigmentazioni dentarie. Sono stati selezionati 30 pazienti ambosessi, ognuno dei quali ha effettuato due cicli di 15 giorni con i due collutori dello studio
Uso preventivo di un sistema desensibilizzante in terapia parodontale non chirurgica
No full textFare clinical data exist about the incidence and severity by which root dentin sensitivity results from periodontal therapy. But many Authors reported that root sensitivity after scaling and root planning is a frequent clinical event. In the present clinical trial patients were given a preventive prescription of a desensitizing dental system (Curasept Sensitivity®), in order to evaluate the efficacy of this protocol in pain reduction after periodontal therapy. After professional oral hygiene therapy was performed, patients were divided into 2 groups: first group received precise oral hygiene instruction (group A), while second group received also the desensitizing system, to be used everyday (group B). After 3 weeks, the root-planing was performed, and patients were weekly evaluated for 4 weeks. Baseline and follow-up recordings included responses of teeth to pain stimuli (directed compressed air) at buccal surfaces as graded by the patient on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). The data confirm that meticulous plaque control reduces both root e dentin sensitivity in the period immediately before periodontal therapy. Moreover, utilization of a desensitizing system before and after periodontal therapy revealed to be an effective protocol in reduction of dentinal sensitivity and pain
