Sorption and solubility testing of orthodontic bonding cements in different solutions

JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH, Issue 2 2006
Manuel Toledano
Abstract To evaluate and compare the solubility and sorption of orthodontic bonding cements after immersion in different solutions, five different cements were used: a fluoride-containing resin composite, a light-cured glass ionomer cement, a light-cured resin composite, a paste,paste chemically cured resin composite, and a liquid,paste chemically cured resin composite. Five different solutions were employed: distilled water, artificial saliva, an alcohol-free mouthrinse solution (Orthokin), a 5% alcohol mouthrinse solution (Perioaid), and a 75% ethanol/water solution. Five disc specimens (15 mm × 0.85 mm) were used for each experimental condition. Materials were handled following manufacturers' instructions and were ground wet with silicon carbide paper. Solubility and sorption of the materials were calculated by means of weighing the samples before and after immersion and desiccation. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Student,Newman,Keuls test (p < 0.05). The light-cured glass ionomer cement showed the lowest solubility and the highest sorption values. When using alcohol-containing solutions as storage media, solubility of the paste,paste chemically cured resin composite increased, and sorption values for the tested chemically cured resin composites were also increased. The use of alcohol-free mouthrinses does not affect sorption and solubility of orthodontic cements. The chemically cured (paste,paste) composite resin cement, requiring a mixing procedure, was the most affected by immersion in alcohol-containing solutions. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PERIODONTOLOGY, Issue 4 2002
Nicole B. Arweiler
Abstract Background: The purpose of this double-blind, prospective, latin-square crossover randomised study was to examine the efficacy of a mouthrinse solution containing a combination of triclosan, amine fluoride and sodium fluoride on supragingival plaque regrowth compared to a placebo and a chlorhexidine solution. Methods: 12 volunteers refrained after professional oral prophylaxis from all mechanical hygiene measures for the following 96 h and rinsed instead cross-over in a randomised order with either chlorhexidine dicluconate (0.2%, positive control), a verum solution (0.5% amine fluoride, 0.028% sodium fluoride, 0.03% triclosan) or a placebo solution. The plaque index was assessed after 24 and 96 h (PI 1, PI 2) and the plaque area (PA) photographed and calculated after 96 h of undisturbed plaque regrowth. Moreover plaque samples were taken after 24 and 96 h and examined with the vital fluorescence technique to assess the vitality of the biofilm microbiota (VF 1, VF 2). Results: The amine-fluoride-triclosan solution reduced the clinical parameters (PI and PA) as well as the vitality of the plaque flora (VF) significantly when compared to the placebo solution. The verum reached a 36.5% (p<0.05) and a 39.8% reduction (p<0.0001) in PI 1 and PI 2, respectively, concomittant with a reduction of 23.8% and 32.2% (p<0.001) in VF 1 and VF 2 and of 46.9% (p<0.0001) in PA at day 4. This was less than the reductions found with the positive control, i.e., the 0.2% chlorhexidine solution (54.2% and 71.1% reduction in PI 1 and PI 2, 40.0% and 53.4% in VF 1 and VF 2 and 71.5% in PA). However, significant differences between both active solutions were only established for PI 2 and PA. Conclusion: During 4-day plaque regrowth the amine-fluoride-triclosan product displayed a significant antibacterial and plaque-reducing action in comparison to the control. Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Der Zweck dieser prospektiven, gekreuzten, randomisierten Doppeltblindstudie war die Überprüfung der Effektivität einer Mundspüllösung, die eine Kombination von Triclosan, Aminfluorid und Natriumfluorid enthielt, auf die Neuetablierung der supragingivalen Plaque im Vergleich zu einem Placebo und einer Chlorhexidinlösung. Methoden: 12 Probanden wurde nach einer professionellen Prophylaxe jegliche mechanische Hygiene für die folgenden 96 Stunden untersagt. Sie spülten dafür überkreuzt in einer zufälligen Reihenfolge entweder mit Chlorhexidindiglukonat (0.2%, positive Kontrolle), einer Versuchslösung (0.5% Aminfluorid, 0.028% Natriumfluorid, 0.03% Triclosan) oder einer Placebolösung. Der Plaque-index wurde nach 24 Stunden und 96 Stunden erhoben (PI 1, PI 2). Die Plaquefläche (PA) wurde fotografiert und berechnet nach 96 Stunden des ungestörten Plaquewachstums. Zusätzlich wurden Plaqueproben nach 24 und 96 Stunden entnommen und mit der Vitalfluoreszenztechnik die Vitalität der Mikroflora des Biofilms bestimmt (VF 1, VF 2). Ergebnisse: Die Aminfluorid-Triclosan-Lösung reduzierte die klinischen Parameter (PI und PA) sowie die Vitalität der Plaqueflora (VF) signifikant, im Vergleich mit der Placebolösung. Die Versuchslösung erreichte eine 36.5%ige (p<0.05) und eine 39.8%ige Reduktion (p<0.001) bei PI 1 und PI 2, verbunden mit einer Reduktion von 23.8% und 32.2% (p<0.01) bei VF 1 und VF 2 und 46.9% (p<0.0001) bei PA am Tag 4. Dies war geringer als die Reduktionen, die mit der positiven Kontrolle gefunden wurden, d.h. mit der 0.2%igen Chlorhexidin-Lösung (54.2% und 71.1% Reduktion bei PI 1 und PI 2, 40.0% und 53.4% bei VF 1 und VF 2 sowie 71.5% bei PA). Jedoch wurden signifikante Differenzen zwischen beiden aktiven Lösungen nur bei PI 2 und PA gefunden. Zusammenfassung: Während eines 4tägigen Plaquewachstums zeigte das Aminfluorid-Triclosan-Produkt eine signifikante antibakterielle und plaquereduzierende Wirkung im Vergleich zu der Kontrolle. Résumé Origine: Le but de cette étude randomisée, croisée, prospective en double aveugle a été d'examiner l'efficacité d'une solution contenant une association de fluorure d'amine, de fluorure de sodium et de triclosan sur l'accumulation de la plaque dentaire sus-gingivale comparée à un placebo et à une solution de chlorhexidine (CHX). Méthodes: Après un nettoyage professionnel, 12 volontaires ont arrêté toutes mesures d'hygiène buccale pendant 96 h. Ils se sont rinçés de manière randomisée et croisée avec du digluconate de CHX 0.2%, une solution verum (fluorure d'amine 0.5%, fluorure de sodium 0.028% et triclosan 0.03%) ou une solution placebo. L'indice de plaque a été mesurée après 24 h (Pli 1) et 96 h (Pli 2) et la zone de plaque (PA) photographiée et calculée après 96 h. Des échantillons de plaque dentaire ont été prélevés après 24 h (VF 1) et 96 h (VF 2) et examinés par la technique de vitalité de fluorescence, pour mesurer la vitalité de la flore du biofilm. Résultats: La solution flurorure d'amine/triclosan réduisait significativement les paramètres cliniques (Pli et PA) ainsi que la vitalité de la flore (VF) comparée à la solution placebo. Le vérum atteignait des réductions respectives de 37% (p<0.05) et 40% (p<0.0001) des Pli 1 et Pli 2 concomitantes avec une réduction de 24 et 32% (p<0.001) de VF 1 et VF 2 et de 47% (p<0.0001) de PA au jour 4. Ceci était inférieur aux réductions trouvées dans le contrôle positif, c.-à-d. la CHX 0.2% (54 et 71% de réduction de Pli 1 et Pli 2, 40 et 53% de VF 1 et VF 2, et 72% de PA). Cependant, les différences significatives entre les deux solutions actives ont été mises en évidence uniquement pour Pli2 et PA. Conclusion: Durant cette courte croissance de la plaque dentaire, le produit fluorure d'amine/triclosan montrait une action antibactérienne et anti-plaque supérieure à celle du contrôle. [source]

Abstract , Objectives: The influence on enamel fluoride uptake of reducing the NaF concentration of a mouthrinse solution by half, from 0.05,0.025%, was examined in elementary school children. Methods: The participatory elementary school had employed school-based fluoride mouthrinse with 0.05% NaF solution since 1983, and in 1993, the NaF content was lowered to 0.025%. Dental examination and enamel biopsy of maxillary central incisors were performed just before the NaF content reduction for children who had received the daily 0.05% NaF mouthrinse for 2,5 years since 6 years of age. During 1993,95, dental examination and enamel biopsy were undertaken for newly enrolled 6-year-old children, and the same subjects were re-examined after 2 years. The same series of examinations were conducted for the control group, which consisted of children belonging to another elementary school without a fluoride program. Results: The enamel fluoride concentration of 8-year-old children who used the 0.025% NaF mouthrinse for 2 years was 1810 ± 535 ppm, reaching the same order as that in children who continued using the 0.05% NaF mouthrinse (1863 ± 1358 ppm), and was significantly higher than that of children without fluoride programs (1113 ± 303 ppm). There was no considerable increase of mean DMFT values due to the NaF content reduction. Conclusions: It was concluded that a daily 0.025% NaF mouthrinse provides the similar fluoride content for enamel as 0.05% NaF mouthrinse as long as the rinsing frequency is maintained. [source]

How to select the right mouthrinses in periodontal prevention and therapy.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DENTAL HYGIENE, Issue 4 2003
Part II.
Abstract:, Based on scientific proof, only few mouthrinse solutions can be recommended. However, it is impossible to construct an extended table that would provide precise recommendations or advices for mouthrinse utilisation related to any possible discomfort or diseases. Only reliable information on the drugs available against periodontal disease can be offered to the therapist. By evaluation of her or his individual experiences, she or he has to judge all the armamentarium she or he possesses to react in the best possible way in each specific situation. [source]
