Mouthwashes for the control of supragingival biofilm and gingivitis in orthodontic patients: evidence-based recommendations for clinicians

Properly performed daily mechanical biofilm control is the most important prevention strategy for periodontal diseases. However, proper mechanical biofilm control is not performed effectively by the majority of the population, mainly due to lack of motivation and of manual dexterity. Local biofilm retention factors may aggravate home oral hygiene quality. For this reason, patients wearing fixed orthodontic appliances comprise a group that may benefit from the daily use of mouthwashes. The purpose of this review was to perform a systematic search in the literature on antiseptics used to control supragingival biofilm and gingivitis in orthodontic patients. Six studies investigating the effect of chlorhexidine and 5 studies evaluating the effect of the daily use of antiseptics were found. Chl…

In vitro color evaluation of esthetic coatings for metallic dental implants and implant prosthetic appliances

Abstract ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterize the optical properties of newly developed esthetic coatings for metallic implants and components for an improved peri?implant soft tissue appearance. Material and methodsPig maxillae (n = 6) were used for the in vitro color evaluation of coated and uncoated samples. Three different coating systems (Ti–ZrO2, Ti–Al–ZrO2, and Ti–Ag–ZrO2) were deposited on titanium substrates, which exhibited different roughness (polished, machined, and sand?blasted) and interference colors (pink, yellow, and white). Spectrophotometric measurements were made of samples below three different mucosa thicknesses (1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm) and titanium served as negative control. Color difference ?E was calculated using ?L, ?a, and ?b …
