Introdução: A gengivite caracteriza-se por uma inflamação gengival induzida pela presença de placa bacteriana. A forma mais eficaz de controlo da placa bacteriana é através de corretos hábitos de higiene oral, como a escovagem e o controlo de placa bacteriana interproximal. A utilização de elixires, pode atuar de forma coadjuvante e complementar os efeitos mecânicos da escovagem e do fio dentário.
Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da utilização de um elixir com flúor e 0,05% de cloreto de cetilpiridínio - Colgate® Plax, após escovagem dentária, no controlo da acumulação de placa bacteriana e no tratamento da inflamação gengival após um período de 15 dias de utilização.
Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um ensaio clínico em 8 participantes voluntários, alunos de 4º e 5º anos do curso de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Dentária da FMDUL. Todos os participantes realizaram uma consulta, onde, inicialmente, foram registados os valores dos índices de placa bacteriana de Quigley e Hein (1962), modificado por Turesky et al. (1970) e os valores do índice gengival de Löe & Silness (1963) para avaliação do estado de inflamação gengival. De seguida, realizou-se profilaxia para remoção da placa bacteriana e cálculo existente. Após o exame inicial, os participantes foram orientados para realizarem a escovagem com um de dois protocolos: (a) o dentífrico - Colgate® Total® ou (b) dentífrico - Colgate® Total® e elixir - Colgate® Plax durante um período de 15 dias. No fim deste tempo foi feito novo registo dos valores dos índices.
Resultados: Os resultados deste estudo demonstraram uma diminuição estatisticamente significativa na redução da placa bacteriana (p=0,029) e da gengivite (p=0,029) com a utilização do elixir com 0,05% de CPC.
Conclusão: A utilização de um elixir com flúor e 0,05% de CPC, após escovagem, demonstrou ser eficaz na redução da acumulação da placa bacteriana e da gengivite.
Introduction: Gingivitis is characterized by gingival inflammation induced by the presence of dental plaque. The most effective way to control it is through a correct oral hygiene routine, such as brushing and interproximal plaque control. The use of elixirs can act as a supporting way and complement the mechanical effects of brushing and flossing. Aim: To evaluate the effect of an elixir with fluoride and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride - Colgate® Plax, after brushing, in the control of dental plaque formation and in the treatment of gingival inflammation during a period of 15 days of use. Materials e methods: A clinical trial was carried out on 8 participants, students of 4th and 5th grade of the Master course in Dental Medicine. All the participants went for an appointment, where the values of plaque indexes of Quigley and Hein (1962), modified by Turesky et al. (1970) and the values of the gingival index of Löe & Silness (1963) were recorded to assess the state of gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation on baseline. Then, prophylaxis was performed to remove plaque and existing calculus. After the initial examination, the participants were instructed to follow one of two protocols: (a) brush with the toothpaste - Colgate® Total® - or (b) toothpaste - Colgate® Total® - and elixir - Colgate® Plax - assigned, for a period of 15 days. At the end of this time, a new registration of the index values was made. Results: The results of the study demonstrated a statistically decreased in plaque (p=0.029) and gingivitis (p=0.029) with the use of an elixir with 0.05% CPC. Conclusion: The use of a fluoride elixir and 0.05% CPC, after brushing, proved to be effective in reducing plaque and gingivitis.
