Fixed orthodontic appliances predispose patients to dental caries. Use of mouthrinses has been introduced as the effective way for reducing dental plaque accumulation.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Persica mouthwash and Chlorhexidine (CHX) on colonization of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) on fixed orthodontic O-rings.
Thirty patients with fixed orthodontic appliances and proper oral hygiene were randomly provided by CHX and Persica and trained to use these mouthwashes according to the manufacturer's instruction. Sampling was carried out right before and 4 weeks after mouthrinsing treatment. The mean amounts of S. mutans colonies in these groups were compared.
Comparison of S. mutans colonization within each group revealed both mouthrinses to be efficient. However, this difference was found to be significant only in CHX group.
Persica cannot be a good alternative mouthwash and patients on orthodontic treatment are still recommended to use CHX.
固定正畸矫治器使患者易患龋齿。使用漱口水已被作为减少牙菌斑积聚的有效方法。
本研究的目的是比较波斯菊漱口水和氯己定（CHX）对变形链球菌（S. mutans）在固定正畸O形环上定植的影响。
30名佩戴固定正畸矫治器且口腔卫生良好的患者被随机分为CHX组和波斯菊组，并按照制造商的说明接受使用这些漱口水的培训。在漱口水治疗前和治疗4周后进行采样。比较这些组中变形链球菌菌落的平均数量。
每组内变形链球菌定植情况的比较显示两种漱口水均有效。然而，仅在CHX组中发现这种差异具有统计学意义。
波斯菊漱口水不是一种好的替代漱口水，正畸治疗患者仍建议使用CHX。
