Karthiga Senthil, Dr. Thamarai Selvan and Dr. Padma Ariga*
ABSTRACT Aim and objective: The aim of this study is to compare Comparison Of Bacterial Count In Saliva After Full Mouth Scaling Treatment Versus Full Mouth Disinfection With Use Of 0.12% Chlorhexidine Mouthwash. Background: Anti-infective nonsurgical therapy includes both mechanical and chemotherapeutic approaches. Regular chemotherapeutic home-care by patients, such as applying chlorhexidine mouthwash, is generally very effective in controlling most inflammatory periodontal diseases, when used in conjunction with the professional removal of dental plaque. Reason: Chlorhexidine is a well-known antiseptic for anti plaque action with a long substantivity. Hence, the purpose of the study is to assess and compare the microbial count in saliva with and without rinsing the mouth with 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash following oral prophylactic scaling treatment. Keywords: Chlorhexidine, Full mouth scaling, full mouth disinfection, 0.12% concentration,bacterial count. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
