BACKGROUND Among the opportunistic microorganisms, fungi, particularly Candida, play an important role in the mortality of transplant recipients. Thus, controlling and preventing fungal colonizations in various parts of the body, including the oral cavity, can reduce the possibility of post-transplant invasive fungal infections. This can be done simply by using mouthwashes. OBJECTIVES The cur...

Background: Biofilm plays an important role in the etiology of caries, and can be removed through chemical approach using mouthwash, which has some advantages over mechanical one. Nowadays, there are a lot mouthwashes with many active ingredients that have been developed. Aim: To review mouthwashes’ efficacy preventing dental caries.Discussion: As recent studies showed Streptococcus mutans can’...

calcium fluoride deposit during fluoride application. uptake and retention of fluoride by saliva depends generally on the concentration of calcium. in this study, the effect of calcium pre-rinse on salivary fluoride concentration after a 900 ppm fluoride mouthwash was investigated.this cross-over double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in a girls' dormitory in zahedan university of...

The purpose of this study was to establish the safety and tolerability of recombinant transforming growth factor-beta3 (TGF-beta3; CGP 46614) mouthwashes intended for prevention of chemotherapy-induced mucositis. Local effects were especially analyzed by objective and subjective measurements of mucositis. Secondary aims were analysis of potential systemic exposure and development of anti-TGF-be...

INTRODUCTION To assess the impact of using preventive mouthwash agents on the surface hardness of various resins composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hundred specimens were prepared from five types of composite resin material in a Teflon mold. Five specimens from each type of restorative materials (Herculite XRV Ultra, Estelite Σ Quick, Z Hermack, Versa Comp Sultan, and Empress Direct IPS) were ...

Introduction: Indirect dental composites may have adequate clinical performance. However, the literature is scarce regarding indirect composite resins and these solutions should be considered to maintain their properties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of beverages, mouthwashes and bleaching agents on the hardness of indirect composite resins. Methods: Five different brands ...

objective: being able to cause disease in human, herpes simplex viruses (hsvs) clinically demonstrate themselves as intra-oral, extra-oral or recurrent lesions. the existing acyclovir has the selective anti-herpetic drug to control hsv infections. due to emerged resistance to this drug and limitations of using it in especial situations, there is a need for alternative treatments such as availab...
