The purpose of this review was to identify studies that have investigated the effect of carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse on exercise performance, and to quantify the overall mean difference of this type of manipulation across the studies. The main mechanisms involving the potential benefit of CHO mouth rinse on performance was also explored. A systematic review was conducted in the following elec...

Background: Stevia is a natural, non-caloric sweetener with antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-cariogenic properties. Aim was to assess compare the effect of 4.7% stevia solution, sucrose solution distilled water mouth rinsing on salivary pH. Methods: Randomized controlled trial latin square design followed involving 15 female participants aged 20-23 years. Participants were randomly allocated...

To prevent Ebola transmission, frequent handwashing is recommended in Ebola Treatment Units and communities. However, little is known about which handwashing protocol is most efficacious. We evaluated six handwashing protocols (soap and water, alcohol-based hand sanitizer (ABHS), and 0.05% sodium dichloroisocyanurate, high-test hypochlorite, and stabilized and non-stabilized sodium hypochlorite...

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of a tin-containing fluoride (Sn/F) mouth rinse on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) between resin composite and erosively demineralised dentin. Materials and Methods: Dentin of 120 human molars was erosively demineralised using a 10-day cyclic deand remineralisation model. For 40 molars the model comprised erosive demineralisation only, for another 40 the mod...

OBJECTIVE Single dose of systemic antibiotics and short-term use of mouthwashes reduce bacteremia. However, the effects of a single dose of preprocedural rinse are still controversial. This study evaluated, in periodontally diseased patients, the effects of a pre-procedural mouth rinse on induced bacteremia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Systemically healthy individuals with gingivitis (n=27) or perio...

Background: Oral mucositis afflicts more than 3/4 of patients with cancer under chemotherapy. In acute cases it could lead to brain damage caused by hypoxia and even death due to airway obstruction and reduction of chemotherapy drug dose. We aimed to compare the effects of topical mouth rinse and chamomile mouthwash in prevention of oral mucositis caused by chemotherapy in children with cancer....

Background and Aim: Data regarding the efficacy of universal adhesives are limited. This study aimed to assess the durability of a universal adhesive bond to superficial dentin using etch and rinse and self-etch modes. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 32 sound molars were randomly divided into two groups of Scotchbond Universal adhesive with two-step etch and rins...

Background: Use of high speed ultrasonics work under pressure which generates spatter and aerosols, contaminate the surroundings with various infectious agents. To reduce agents several procedures such as protective barriers, volume evacuation device prerinse. Ozonated water is antimicrobial biocompatible making it suitable pre-rinse dental use. Chlorhexidine effective against broad spectrum ba...
