... in a saliva-derived polymicrobial biofilm model subjected to a single chlorhexidine (CHX) treatment. Materials and Methods: The effects of PMA on viable cells were tested using both untreated and PMA-treated saliva as an inoculum. Viability was determined by plate counts, metabolic activity was determined...

...C. Hannig; A. Gaeding; S. Basche; G. Richter; R. Helbig; M. Hannig Aim: The study aimed to investigate the effect of a customary fluoride solution, containing sodium fluoride and amine fluoride, on initial biofilm formation on enamel and dentin in situ compared directly to chlorhexidine. Methods...

... dentine specimens were demineralized by phosphoric acid (PA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), Clearfil SE Bond primer (SE), or Xeno V (XE) and stored in artificial saliva. Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), doxycycline, EDTA, or ZnCl 2 was added. C-terminal telopeptide determinations (ICTP) were...

...N.A. Aminabadi; L. Erfanparast; A. Ebrahimi; S.G. Oskouei This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of chlorhexidine mouthwash disinfection on the stability of lactobacilli probiotic. This study involved 105 children in 3 groups. Subjects in group A received chlorhexidine for 2 weeks, subjects...

...A.P. Dasanayake; H.W. Wiener; Y. Li; S.V. Vermund; P.W. Caufield In a randomized clinical trial, we evaluated the effect of a 10% chlorhexidine varnish (Chlorzoin ® ) on the mother-child transmission of Streptococcus mutans and on subsequent caries experience. Chlorhexidine (n = 38) or a placebo...

...P. James; C. Parnell; H. Whelton Aims: Our purpose was to systematically review the literature on the effectiveness of chlorhexidine varnish for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents and to determine its effectiveness compared to fluoride varnish. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE...

...G.H. Hildebrandt The effect of multiple treatments with chlorhexidine mouth guards on salivary levels of mutans streptococci (MS) was studied. Eleven subjects with salivary MS ≥ 10 5 CFU/ml were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. Complete-arch mouth guards were coated internally...

...S. Twetman; L.G. Petersson The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a chlor-hexidine/thymol-containing (CHX) and a chlorhexidine/fhymol/fluoride-con-taining (CHX+F) varnish to decrease interdental levels of mutans streptococci (MS). Eighty-two healthy schoolchildren...

... of chlorhexidine digluconate on cell membranes was studied after treating the extracted proteins for 30 min with the drug at final concentrations of 0.05 and 0.2%. Chlorhexidine caused selective reduction in the intensity of the membrane proteins. Five densely staining bands with molecular weights of 24.2, 19.6...

...J.S. van der Hoeven; M.J.M. Schaeken Clinical studies suggest that the long-term suppression of mutans streptococci on tooth surfaces after intensive chlorhexidine therapy is mainly due to bacterial interference. Other streptococci and also Actinomyces naeslundii are proposed to inhibit regrowth...

...K. Pienihäkkinen; E. Söderling; I. Ostela; I. Leskelä; J. Tenovuo The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of a 40% chlorhexidine (CHX) varnish (EC40, Certichem, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) with a 1% CHX-0.2% NaF gel in decreasing the level of salivary mutans streptococci (MS). The subjects...

... colonisation levels. The subjects were treated with a 1% chlorhexidine-thymol-containing varnish (Cervitec®) either in an intensive mode (MM) with 3 applications within a 2-week period or in a monthly mode (IM) during a 3-onth period. The varnish was applied with a miniball burnisher after the teeth had been...

...M.J.M. Schaeken; H.J.A. Beckers; J.S. van der Hoeven This study describes the effects of varnish containing 40% chlorhexidine diacetate on Actinomyces naeslundii populations in plaque from human molar fissures. In each of 15 subjects two dental fissures with high levels of mutans streptococci were...

...C. van Loveren; J.F. Buijs; M.J. Buijs; J.M. ten Cate In an in vitro demineralization model, the protective effect of two chlorhexidme varnishes, Cervitec® (1% w/w chlorhexidine diacetate and 1% w/w thymol) and EC40® (40% w/w chlorhexidine diacetate), was compared with that of Fluor Protector®...

...C. Wallman; B. Krasse; D. Birkhed The effect of antimicrobial treatment on the numbers of mutans streptococci (MS) in plaque from margins of restorations and in saliva was studied. Nineteen persons with well-restored dentitions and > 0.5 × 106 MS per ml saliva were treated with 1% chlorhexidine...

...M.J.M. Schaeken; J.S. van der Hoeven; C.W.A. van den Kieboom The treatment of tooth surfaces with chlorhexidine varnish may lead to long-lasting suppression of mutans streptococci in dental plaque. Microbiological observations following varnish treatment suggest that this prolonged suppression...

...R. Weiger; C. Friedrich; L. Netuschil; U. Schlagenhauf The effect on local plaque formation of a varnish containing 1% chlorhexidine and 1% thymol (Cervitec®) was evaluated.
