Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The study used phase contrast microscopy to examine the influence on the proximal oral bacterial microflora af-ter interdental brushing using cethyl pyridium chloride (CPC) solution in 50 adult volunteers.
Methods: The study was done from August to September 2014 at the dental public health center in Deagu-si with Dankook University Hospital Institutional Review Board approval.
Results: Numerous cocci present at the interproximal site prior to use of CPC were markedly reduced at the interdental brush tip following CPC use (p＜0.01). Coccai motility as an indication of motility was no different prior to and after CPC application(p＞0.05). The total number of Bacillus and number of motile Bacillus were significantly after CPC brushing (both p＜0.01). Total number and number of motile filamentous and spiral microorganisms were decreased after CPC application(all p＜0.05). The results indicate the effcacy of mouth rinsing with CPC. While there may be a relationship between the total and motile numbers of oral microorganisms, no relationship was routinely evident between age and microbe number.
Conclusions: Use of CPC to sterilize the tip of the interdental brush after use the proximal area is recommended to achieve the best antiseptic effect.
