Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

5.2K
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.

The Oral Microbiota01:27

The Oral Microbiota

87
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...

Summary

Dental prosthesis wearers face higher risks of biofilm accumulation and oral health issues. Chemical agents like chlorhexidine and essential oils can help manage these risks alongside mechanical cleaning.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Health
  • Prosthodontics
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Dental prosthesis wearers are at increased risk for dental biofilm accumulation due to factors like oral disease history and prosthesis design.
  • Common issues include inflammation, halitosis, and recurrence of caries and periodontal disease, especially after prosthesis replacement or abutment loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review literature on chemical agent prescriptions for dental prosthesis wearers.
  • To discuss the impact of different prostheses on oral tissues and biofilm buildup.
  • To identify safe and effective antimicrobial agents for prosthesis disinfection.

Main Methods:

  • A critical literature review was conducted.
  • Articles were selected based on relevance, methodology, and availability.
  • No publication year limitations were imposed.

Main Results:

  • Various prostheses contribute to increased biofilm buildup and inflammation.
  • Mechanical cleaning (toothbrush, toothpaste, interdental devices) is essential.
  • Few chemical agents are safe for long-term use; chlorhexidine is suitable for short-term/sporadic use.
  • Essential oil-based products are effective adjuncts to mechanical biofilm control.

Conclusions:

  • Additional measures are necessary for managing biofilm and inflammation in prosthesis wearers.
  • Careful selection of chemical agents is crucial for safe and effective oral hygiene.
  • Essential oils offer a promising adjunct for enhancing daily mechanical biofilm control.
