Special-needs patients with high caries risk cannot benefit from the proven caries-reducing effect of fluoride mouthrinse because of poor rinsing compliance and a lack of home-use fluoride application recommendations.
This study aimed to evaluate whether two modified delivery methods-spray or swab application-could raise the salivary fluoride to levels similar to that of rinsing.
Five healthy men and 16 healthy women, ages 18-22 years, participated in this crossover study. The subjects performed a standardized brushing routine twice a day with 1,000-ppm fluoride dentifrice 1 week before and during the experimental period. The three fluoride mouthwash (0.05% NaF; 226-ppm fluoride) administration methods consisted of rinsing, spray, and cotton swab application. Each application was separated by at least 1 week. Unstimulated whole saliva was sampled for 2 minutes at baseline and at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after each fluoride mouthwash application. Salivary fluoride level (ppm) was measured by a blinded investigator using an ion-specific electrode (ORION EA940). The differences in salivary fluoride concentration for each application method were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA at a nominal significance level of .05.
The newly designed fluoride mouthwash delivery methods yielded a similar fluoride level in whole saliva compared to that of rinsing at all time points (p > .05). The t half-life of fluoride concentration ranged from 1.62 minutes (SD = 0.53) in the spray group to 2.08 minutes (SD = 0.87) in the cotton swab group; the values were not significantly different.
Our results indicate that the spray and cotton swab fluoride delivery methods were effective alternatives to conventional mouth rinsing. Caregivers of individuals with acute and chronic illness, including developmental disabilities affecting cognitive or physical abilities, may consider using these alternative fluoride delivery methods to help promote dental hygiene.
高龋风险的特殊需求患者因漱口依从性差且缺乏家庭用氟建议,无法从已证实的含氟漱口水防龋效果中获益。
本研究旨在评估两种改良给药方法——喷雾或擦拭应用——能否将唾液氟水平提高到与漱口相似的水平。
5名18 - 22岁的健康男性和16名健康女性参与了这项交叉研究。在实验期之前及期间,受试者每天使用含1000 ppm氟化物的牙膏进行两次标准化刷牙。三种含氟漱口水(0.05%氟化钠;226 ppm氟化物)给药方法包括漱口、喷雾和棉签涂抹。每次应用间隔至少1周。在基线以及每次含氟漱口水应用后的0、5、10、20、30、60和120分钟采集2分钟的非刺激性全唾液。由一位不知情的研究者使用离子特异性电极(ORION EA940)测量唾液氟水平(ppm)。每种应用方法的唾液氟浓度差异通过重复测量方差分析进行分析,名义显著性水平为0.05。
新设计的含氟漱口水给药方法在所有时间点的全唾液中产生的氟水平与漱口相似(p > 0.05)。氟浓度的t半衰期范围从喷雾组的1.62分钟(标准差 = 0.53)到棉签组的2.08分钟(标准差 = 0.87);这些值无显著差异。
我们的结果表明,喷雾和棉签含氟给药方法是传统漱口的有效替代方法。患有急性和慢性疾病(包括影响认知或身体能力的发育障碍)患者的护理人员可考虑使用这些替代含氟给药方法来帮助促进口腔卫生。
