A storage test on chlorhexidine gluconate (0.004%) in aqueous or simulated contact lens solutions, conducted for 6 months in various containers, suggested [l] that loss of activity by a surface adsorption process was occurring. It has been reported [2] that contact lens solutions containing chlorhexidine gluconate (0.~5%) stored at room temperature in the dark for 6 months in polypropylene, pol...

Purpose: Evaluating effects of Nd:YAG-laser, Er:YAG-laser, chlorhexidine and ozonated water application which is used for purpose antibacterial effects, on repair bond strength silorane based composite. Materials Methods: 100 cavities (2 mm deep, 3 diameter) prepared in acrylic blocks were filled with composite subjected thermal cycle divided into 5 groups (N=20). Group 1:Chlorhexidine; 2:Ozona...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of disinfectant solutions on Candida albicans (C. albicans) for different types denture materials. A total 144 specimens (10x10x2 mm) were obtained from three materials: autopolymerized acrylic resin, heat-cured and hard relining material (n = 6). Three used: 100% white vinegar, 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (Saver) cleaning tablets (Corega). The placed ...

recovery of metabolites from fermentation broth by solvent extraction can be used to optimize fermentation processes. end-product reutilization, low product concentration, large volumes of fermentation broth and the requirements for large bioreactors, in addition to the high cost largely contributed to the decline in fermentative 2, 3-butanediol production. extraction can successfully be used f...

OBJECTIVES To monitor the release of the antifungal drugs Fluconazole, Chlorhexidine and a combination of the two from an auto-polymerized poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base resin; and to investigate the effect of the released drugs upon the growth of Candida albicans. METHODS A high performance liquid chromatography-Ultra violet (HPLC-UV) method was used in the analysis of the re...

BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections related to use of catheters are associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates, prolonged hospital lengths of stay, and increased medical costs. OBJECTIVES To compare the effectiveness of chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings with that of standard dressings in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections. METHODS A total of 100 children were ra...

background and aims. substituting chlorhexidine (chx) for water has been shown to enhance antimicrobial activity of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta). the purpose of this study was to compare the compressive strength of mta mixed with distilled water, 0.12% and 0.2% chlorhexidine. materials and methods. mta was mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions in group i (n = 20). in groups ii & ii...

INTRODUCTION Prosthetic mesh infection constitutes one of the major complications following hernia repair. Antimicrobial, non-antibiotic biomaterials have the potential to reduce bacterial adhesion to the mesh surface and adjacent tissues while avoiding the development of novel antibiotic resistance. This study assesses the efficacy of presoaking reticular polypropylene meshes in chlorhexidine ...
