[The role of probiotics in oral health.].

Introduction: The World Health Organization defines probiotics as: "Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host." Probiotics maintain the balance of the normal intestinal flora and prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria. Its therapeutic use in oral health is increasing.

Short- and long term antibacterial effects of a single rinse with different mouthwashes: A randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: Reducing the microbial level in the aerosol created during dental procedures is essential to avoiding infections. The aim of this study was to examine the change in ( and the total bacterial load in human saliva after a single rinse with different mouthwashes

Material And Methods: One mL of unstimulated saliva was collected from volunteers with poor oral hygiene at baseline and 5 min after a 1-min rinsing with diluted Solumium Oral® (hyper-pure 0.0015% chlorine dioxide; ClO), Listerine Total Care®, Corsodyl® (0.

Formulation of Chlorine-Dioxide-Releasing Nanofibers for Disinfection in Humid and CO-Rich Environment.

Background: Preventing infectious diseases has become particularly relevant in the past few years. Therefore, antiseptics that are harmless and insusceptible to microbial resistance mechanisms are desired in medicine and public health. In our recent work, a poly(ethylene oxide)-based nanofibrous mat loaded with sodium chlorite was formulated.

Comparative study of hyperpure chlorine dioxide with two other irrigants regarding the viability of periodontal ligament stem cells.

Objectives: Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) have an underlined significance as their high proliferative capacity and multipotent differentiation provide an important therapeutic potential. The integrity of these cells is frequently disturbed by the routinely used irrigative compounds applied as periodontal or endodontic disinfectants (e.g.
