Evaluation and Comparision of Antimicrobial Effects of Chlorhexidine (CHX) and Chitosan (CHT) Mouthwash in Chronic Periodontitis (CGP) Patients – A Clinicomicrobiological Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Aim: The objective of study is to investigate the in vivo antibacterial effects of 0.12% CHX and 2% CHT in adjunct to Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) on plaque microbiota in patients with CGP. Methods: The study was conducted by collecting supragingival plaque samples from 40 patients with CGP who reported at CDSRC, Ahmedabad. Subjects between 35 and 55 years were randomly allocated to one of the two groups: Group A (n = 20) in which patients were given 0.12% CHX and Group B (n = 20) in which the patients were given 2% CHT after a thorough SRP. Plaque samples were inoculated on nutrient agar and the CFU were counted. The patients were then instructed to use the mouthwashes for one week, after which plaque samples were again collected, inoculated and CFUs were counted. Results: The mean CFU count reduction after using 0.12% CHX and 2% CHT for one week were 3.563 X102 & 3.714 X102 respectively. Conclusion: Both the mouthwashes were effective in reducing the total bacterial count after one week. We conclude that further investigations are needed to evaluate the potential value of CHT as an effective antiplaque mouth rinse
