Abstract(s)
Enxaguatórios orais à base de óleos essenciais (OE) têm sido apontados como o melhor enxaguatório de uso diário pelos seus efeitos antiplaca e antigengivite. Foram introduzidos no mercado como enxaguatórios OE sem álcool, porém estudos a seu respeito ainda são escassos. O objectivo do presente estudo é comparar o efeito de enxaguatórios OE com álcool (controlo) e sem álcool (teste) sobre a placa supragengival na dinâmica da relação com aplaca subgengival por meio da zona livre de placa (ZLP). Esse foi um ensaio clínico cruzado, randomizado, duplo-cego. Participaram 11 sujeitos, totalizando 396 sítios dentários avaliados, os quais ficaram quatro dias de duração sem medida de higiene mecânica e somente fizeram o uso de OE com e sem álcool. A ZLP foi registada a cada 24 horas. Os dados foram analisados através dos testes de Friedman e Wilcoxon com um nível de significância de 5%. O grupo controlo apresentou melhores resultados quanto à totalidade de superfícies e para as faces livres e proximais nas 48, 72 e 96 horas com diferença estatística. Até o momento de 72 horas, ambos grupos apresentaram um desempenho satisfatório inibitório sobre a formação da placa subgengival com uma diferença significativa a favor do grupo controlo. A presença de placa subgengival nas superfícies livres e proximais foram significativamente maiores no grupo teste. Conclui-se que enxaguatórios OE com álcool têm um melhor efeito antiplaca comparados aos OE sem álcool.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Essential Oil (EO) mouthwash with and without alcohol on the early supra- and subgingival plaque formation using a plaque free zone (PFZ) score system. Methods: This study was a crossover, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Eleven participants remained a period of 4 days with no mechanical oral hygiene control and only used Essential Oil (EO) mouthwash with (control) and without alcohol (test) during this period. The presence of the PFZ was recorded every 24 hours. Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were used with a 5% significance level. Results: Control group showed significant higher number of buccal surfaces free of plaque at 48, 72 and 96 hours compared to test group. Both groups presented satisfactory efficacy up to 72 hours with significant difference in favor of control group. The presence of subgingival plaque on both the proximal and free surfaces was significantly higher for the test group. Conclusion: OE with alcohol showed better results in retarding the early supragingival and subgingival plaque formation compared to EO without alcohol.
