The effect of two different bracket types on the salivary levels of S mutans and S sobrinus in the early phase of orthodontic treatment

Abstract: AbstractObjective:To determine the difference in the levels of Streptococcus mutans and S sobrinus in stimulated saliva in orthodontic patients with different bracket types (stainless steel and esthetic brackets) using polymerase chain reaction and cultivation method.Materials and Methods:Thirty-two patients, aged 13 to 30 years, were selected following these criteria: 1) orthodont… Show more

“…Sabe-se que os aparelhos ortodônticos são compostos por vários acessórios que apresentam superfícies irregulares, as quais funcionam como áreas de retenção, promovendo aumento no acúmulo de biofilme microbiano e elevando a concentração de micro-organismos Magno et al, 2008;Andrucioli et al, 2012;Jurela et al, 2013). Além disso, limitam a ocorrência da limpeza mecânica ocasionada pela saliva e pela movimentação da musculatura (Sukontapatipark et al, 2001;Faltermeier et al, 2007;Jurela et al, 2013).…”

“…Além disso, limitam a ocorrência da limpeza mecânica ocasionada pela saliva e pela movimentação da musculatura (Sukontapatipark et al, 2001;Faltermeier et al, 2007;Jurela et al, 2013). Na presença de carboidratos fermentáveis ocorre queda do pH, com aumento do acúmulo e a maturação do biofilme microbiano, gerando um ambiente favorável para a formação de lesões de cárie (Anhoury et al, 2002;Naranjo et al, 2006;Iwano et al, 2010) e aumento na resposta inflamatória dos tecidos de sustentação.…”
