Abstract
El tratamiento con ortodoncia fija produce en los pacientes una mayor acumulación de biofilm dental, siendo necesario una adecuada higiene bucal complementada con colutorios bucales. Objetivo. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la acción antibacteriana de colutorios de uso ortodóntico sobre el Streptococcus Mutans en pacientes con aparatología ortodóncica fija. Materiales y método. Se realizó un estudio de diseño cuasiexperimental, comparativo, de corte longitudinal, de abordaje cuantitativo ciego simple, con un tamaño de muestra de 20 pacientes distribuidos en dos grupos de estudio para el recuento de UFC, además un control positivo y otro negativo para determinar el halo inhibitorio. Resultados. Los colutorios bucales Vitis® Orthodontic y Ortolacer tuvieron una disminución en el recuento de las UFC de Streptococcus Mutans hasta un 48,3% (p=0,00) y 53,2% (p=0,00) respectivamente; asimismo, hay una mayor acción antibacteriana sobre el Streptococcus Mutans del colutorio Vitis® Orthodontic que el colutorio Ortolacer (p-valor=0,009); así mismo, con un p valor = 0,000 < 0,05 a las 24 y 48 horas existe una diferencia estadística significativa en anaerobiosis que indica que el colutorio Vitis® Orthodontic genera un mayor halo inhibitorio sobre el Streptococcus Mutans. Conclusiones. Los colutorios bucales Vitis® Orthodontic y Ortolacer disminuyen el recuento de las UFC de Streptococcus Mutans en pacientes. Además, ambos colutorios en anaerobiosis tienen acción inhibitoria sobre el Streptococcus Mutans. Sin embargo, hay una mayor acción antibacteriana del colutorio Vitis® Orthodontic sobre el Streptococcus Mutans.
Fixed orthodontic treatment produces a greater accumulation of dental biofilm in patients, and adequate oral hygiene complemented with mouthwashes is necessary. Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial action of mouthwashes for orthodontic use on Streptococcus Mutans in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Materials and method. A quasi-experimental, comparative, longitudinal, single-blind, quantitative approach study was carried out with a sample size of 20 patients distributed in two study groups for the CFU count, as well as a positive and a negative control to determine the inhibitory halo. Results. Vitis® Orthodontic and Ortolacer mouthwashes had a decrease in the CFU count of Streptococcus Mutans up to 48.3% (p=0.00) and 53.2% (p=0.00) respectively; likewise, there is a greater antibacterial action on Streptococcus Mutans of Vitis® Orthodontic mouthwash than Ortolacer mouthwash (p-value=0.009); Likewise, with a p-value = 0.000 < 0.05 at 24 and 48 hours there is a significant statistical difference in anaerobiosis indicating that Vitis® Orthodontic mouthwash generates a greater inhibitory halo on Streptococcus Mutans. Conclusions. Vitis® Orthodontic and Ortholacer mouthrinses decrease the CFU count of Streptococcus Mutans in patients. In addition, both mouthwashes in anaerobiosis have inhibitory action on Streptococcus Mutans. However, there is a greater antibacterial action of Vitis® Orthodontic mouthwash on Streptococcus Mutans.
