Evaluation of antimicrobial effects of commercial mouthwashes utilized in South Korea

Abstract: Streptococcus mutans is frequently associated with dental caries. Bacterial fermentation of food debris generates an acidic environment on the tooth surface, ultimately resulting in tooth deterioration. Therefore, various mouthwashes have been used to reduce and prevent Streptococcus mutans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of 4 commercial mouthwashes and those of 10% and 20% ethanol solutions (formula A, B, C, D, E and F) against Streptococcus mutans using biofilm and plankto… Show more

“…The results obtained from this study are in agreement with the results obtained in other studies regarding the effect of chlorhexidine (15)(16)(17)(18), ethyl alcohol (19)(20)(21) or cetylpyridine chloride (22)(23)(24) on the control of bacterial contamination of the brackets in patients undergoing orthodontic treatments with fixed appliances.…”

“…Our work and research by other authors confirm that mouthwashes containing multiple ingredients with different antimicrobial mechanisms have a broader spectrum of activity against the bacterial and fungal microflora responsible for the accumulation of dental plague than do mouthwashes with single active ingredients [11][12][13][14][15][20][21][22]. This knowledge is extremely important and useful for dentists in their everyday clinical practice, and provides a guide for their recommendations for choice of appropriate mouthwashes for individual patients, both for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes, according to the clinical condition and composition of the patient's oral microbiome.…”

“…Evidence of the antibacterial synergistic activity of sodium fluoride and cetylpyridinium chloride against S. mutans strains was indicated in the 100% reduction of bacteria in oral bacterial biofilm after the use of mouthwash containing both ingredients. In contrast, after the use of mouthwash involving only NaF, the number of S. mutans present in dental plaque was reduced by only 16.82% [12].…”

“…Con la finalidad de mantener a las bacterias en equilibrio, la función principal del odontólogo es educar al paciente mediante la implementación de estrategias como la enseñanza de una correcta técnica de cepillado, el uso de hilo dental, o modificaciones a la dieta, así como la prescripción de enjuagues bucales (Osso & Kanani, 2013). Éstos últimos son soluciones que se emplean antes o después del cepillado dental para reducir temporalmente las bacterias que producen el mal aliento, la caries y la inflamación de las encías, dejando un aliento fresco y un sabor agradable (Yang et al, 2015).…”
