The Oral Microbiota01:27

The Oral Microbiota

98
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: α-Glucosidase Inhibitors

958
α-glucosidase inhibitors, including acarbose (Precose), miglitol (Glyset), and voglibose (Voglib) (primarily available in Asia), are drugs that control blood sugar levels by delaying the digestion of starch and disaccharides. They achieve this by inhibiting α-glucosidase enzymes in the intestine, which slow the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, which in turn leads to a prolonged release of the glucoregulatory hormone GLP-1 from intestinal L-cells.
Acarbose and miglitol are...

Hand hygiene

5.3K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Glinides

1.0K
Repaglinide (Prandin) and Nateglinide (Starlix), known as glinides, are oral insulin secretagogues that stimulate insulin release from pancreatic β cells by closing the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channel). Repaglinide controls insulin release from pancreatic β cells by managing potassium efflux. It shares two binding sites with sulfonylureas and also has a unique site, indicating overlapping mechanisms of action. With a rapid onset and a 4-7 hour duration, it effectively...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Aloe vera is a widely recognized medicinal plant with established anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Its traditional uses include wound healing and pain relief.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of aloe vera mouthwash in managing plaque-induced gingivitis.
  • To compare the anti-inflammatory effects of aloe vera mouthwash alone and in combination with scaling.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-five patients with plaque-induced gingivitis were divided into three groups.
  • Group 1 used aloe vera mouthwash, Group 2 received scaling, and Group 3 used both.
  • Gingival inflammation was assessed using the Loe and Silness gingival index and Sulcus bleeding index over three months.

Main Results:

  • All groups showed a reduction in gingival inflammation.
  • The most significant reduction was observed in the group that received both aloe vera mouthwash and scaling.
  • Statistical analysis confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects.

Conclusions:

  • Aloe vera exhibits significant anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for gingivitis.
  • Aloe vera mouthwash can serve as an effective adjunct to mechanical therapy for plaque-induced gingivitis.
