Background To evaluate and compare the effect of curcumin (CMN) mouth rinse with chlorhexidine (CHX) mouth rinse on clinical parameters and reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) levels in participants with chronic gingivitis. Materials and Methods Thirty plaque-induced generalized chronic gingivitis participants were randomly assigned to three groups - Group I (control/saline), Group II (CHX), an...

Moisture contamination is a major factor in sealant application, often determining clinical success or failure. A new enamel conditioner using HNO3 (2.5%) has been introduced that does not require a water rinse after etching.

OBJECTIVE This study compares the effects of three different mouth rinses with respect to reducing Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) colony counts on the teeth and tongue surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, comparison tests using the alcohol-free 0.1% chlorhexidine mouth rinse, alcohol-containing essential oil mouth rinse, and alcohol-free essential oil-containing mouth rinse were c...

PURPOSE To validate a panel of methylation-based salivary rinse biomarkers (P16, CCNA1, DCC, TIMP3, MGMT, DAPK, and MINT31) previously shown to be independently associated with poor overall survival and local recurrence in a larger, separate cohort of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN One hundred ninety-seven patients were included. All pretreatm...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to clarify differences regarding HPV16 infection and gene amplification between the oral cavity and oropharynx in healthy individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS The subjects were 94 healthy asymptomatic individuals (41 males, 53 females; mean age 58.6 years, range 16-97 years) who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery of t...

The in vivO' efieet of some cations on the amouBt oflipoteiclioic acid (LTA) formed in plaque was investigated in two studies. In the Oral part five students followed six mouthriosing programs, each of which la.sted 4 d. Rinsing was performed for 1 min eveiy second hour with a test solution (0.05% stannous fluoride (SnFjj; 0.0.5% chlorhexidine gluconale; 0.3%, lanthanum chloride (LaCl,) and 0.0...

The aim of this survey was to assess the knowledge and practice of Swiss dentists regarding wound management and the use of mouth rinse in surgical removal of mandibular third molars (MTM). A postal survey was conducted among all 3,288 dentists who are members of the Swiss Dental Society (SSO) representing the majority of dentists in Switzerland. The questionnaire consisted of 13 questions with...
