Streptococcus mutans is the prime microbe responsible for caries. Mouthwashes represent an effective means for decreasing their count. To ascertain this, three commercially available mouthrinses were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity.
Chlorhexidine, Sodium fluoride and Herbal mouth rinse were evaluated for their efficacy against S. mutans in 60 children aged 6-12 years old. Plain water acted as the control group.
The values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. ANOVA test, student-t test and paired t-test were used for evaluation. Chlorhexidine and fluoride showed statistically significant reduction in S. mutans count as compared to herbal rinse.
All the mouthrinses used in the present study have shown a definite decline in S. mutans count.
变形链球菌是导致龋齿的主要微生物。漱口水是减少其数量的有效手段。为了确定这一点,对三种市售漱口水的抗菌活性进行了评估。
对60名6至12岁儿童使用洗必泰、氟化钠和草药漱口水,评估它们对变形链球菌的疗效。用清水作为对照组。
对获得的值进行统计分析。使用方差分析、学生t检验和配对t检验进行评估。与草药漱口水相比,洗必泰和氟化物在变形链球菌数量上显示出统计学上的显著减少。
本研究中使用的所有漱口水均显示变形链球菌数量有明显下降。
