Dentures can be a source of infection or cross-contamination with microorganisms like . The aim of this study was to compare the effects of microwave irradiation, chemical techniques, and a mechanical method (i.e., brushing) on the disinfection of complete dentures contaminated with .
In this experimental study, sixty sterilized dentures were divided into six groups of 10 dentures each. The dentures in Groups 1 and 6 served as negative and positive controls, respectively. The dentures (Groups 2-5) were contaminated with and subjected to four disinfection procedures: Corega tablets, 2% glutaraldehyde, brushing, and microwave irradiation. Replicate aliquots (25 mL) of the suspension were cultured in Sabouraud dextrose broth. The colonies were counted after 48 h of incubation at 37°C. To confirm long-term disinfection, the Trypticase soy broth (TSB) containers were stored at 37°C for 7 days, and turbidity was visually observed. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and independent-samples -test on SPSS the level of statistical significance was set at 0.05.
The dentures disinfected with microwave irradiation (650 W, 3 min) and glutaraldehyde (2%, 10 min) exhibited no evidence of fungal growth after 48 h of incubation and also no turbidity in the TSB containers after 7 days of incubation. However, the dentures disinfected using the mechanical method and Corega tablets exhibited turbidity after 7 days and fungal growth after 48 h that was significantly more than that in the two other methods ( = 0.000) and less than that in the positive control group ( = 0.000). The differences between mechanical cleaning and cleansing tablet were not significant ( = 0.017).
Base on the results of this study, microwave irradiation (650 W, 3 min) and 2% glutaraldehyde completely disinfected the dentures contaminated with in the short term and long term.
假牙可能是感染源或与诸如……等微生物发生交叉污染的源头。本研究的目的是比较微波照射、化学技术和机械方法(即刷牙)对被……污染的全口假牙消毒的效果。
在本实验研究中,60副灭菌假牙被分为6组,每组10副。第1组和第6组的假牙分别作为阴性和阳性对照。第2 - 5组的假牙被……污染,并接受四种消毒程序:使用可力康片剂、2%戊二醛、刷牙和微波照射。将25毫升悬浮液的重复等分试样接种于沙氏葡萄糖肉汤中培养。在37℃孵育48小时后计数菌落。为确认长期消毒效果,将胰蛋白胨大豆肉汤(TSB)容器在37℃下储存7天,并肉眼观察浑浊情况。数据在SPSS上用单因素方差分析和独立样本t检验进行分析,统计学显著性水平设定为0.05。
经微波照射(650瓦,3分钟)和戊二醛(2%,10分钟)消毒的假牙在孵育48小时后未显示真菌生长迹象,在孵育7天后TSB容器中也无浑浊现象。然而,使用机械方法和可力康片剂消毒的假牙在7天后出现浑浊,在48小时后出现真菌生长,且明显多于其他两种方法(P = 0.000),并少于阳性对照组(P = 0.000)。机械清洁和清洁片剂之间的差异不显著(P = 0.017)。
基于本研究结果,微波照射(650瓦,3分钟)和2%戊二醛在短期和长期内都能完全消毒被……污染的假牙。
