It is of interest to compare 0.2% chlorhexidine gel, 0.2% chlorhexidine chip, minocycline microspheres and slow-release doxycycline gel and tetracycline fibers as drug delivery systems in the management of peri-implantitis. The study comprised of 105 Indian participants who had a minimum of one dental implant with a probing depth of 4 mm, along with exudate and/or bleeding upon probing along with the presence of potentially harmful germs. The use of minocycline microspheres and 0.2% chlorhexidine gel resulted in significant improvements in probing depths at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and all treatments showed decline in the indicator bacteria. Thus, minocycline microspheres and 0.2% chlorhexidine gel is useful as an adjuvant for mechanical debridement in management of peri-implantitis.

Bond strength between repair and restorative materials is crucial for endodontic success. This study assessed the effects of the following final irrigation solutions on the bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to a bulk-fill composite: (1) 17% Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA); (2) 2% Chlorhexidine (CHX); (3) 0.2% chitosan; (4) 0.

Little has been written in the literature about the clinical comparison between the single use of chlorhexidine (CHX) and its combination with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of two at-home antiseptic regimens. : Healthy subjects scheduled for dental surgery were enrolled.

Salmonellae remain a prominent issue for poultry products regarding food safety. A predominant source of broiler carcass contamination at processing is from crop rupturing and subsequent contamination of the carcass during evisceration. Chlorhexidine (CHX) salts are commonly used in dental products for their antimicrobial capabilities.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of several antiseptic mouthwashes on the dentin microtensile bond strength of self-etch adhesive, considering the influence of rinsing with water.
Methods: Forty flat dentin surfaces were produced by sectioning sound extracted third molars. They were randomly divided into four main groups: (1) artificial saliva (control); (2) 1 % hydrogen peroxide; (3) 0.

Introduction: Biosurfactants are naturally occurring compounds with various ap-plications, biodegradable, non-toxic, and effective in different conditions. This study fo-cuses on the extraction and evaluation of biosurfactants produced by five strains of lactic acid bacteria [LAB] for their potential to inhibit biofilm formation and adhesion by Strep-tococcus mutans.
Methods: The strains of LAB-producing biosurfactants such as Lactobacillus salivarius, L.
