Podcasts about Chlorhexidine

Dr. Emily Stein joins Dr. Judy in discussing the importance of the oral microbiome health in dogs and cats, emphasizing that a diverse microbiome is ideal, but often diminishes due to diet and antibiotic exposure. By age three, many pets have gum disease pathogens, with some having 60% of their oral cavities affected. Chlorhexidine-based dental products worsen this issue. Learn the links between oral health and systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Dr. Emily also shares why she developed TEEF, a nutritional supplement that helps rebalance the oral microbiome by attracting and blocking harmful bacteria, improving dental and therefore overall health.

In this episode, Phil Russo talks to Brett Mitchell and Kate Browne about a study that did not make it over the line. Following a systematic review in 2021 that examined the issue of UTIs in those who self catheterise, a study to examine whether previous work demonstrating a reduction in CAUTI in indwelling catheters through the use of Chlorhexidine for meatal cleansing would be effective was designed. The team discuss the complexities of getting what was essentially a community-based study over the line and why ultimately it did not progress, much to the sadness of the team. previous relevant work is listed below.

What's the best way to reduce post-op pain after extractions? And why should we never use the term “painkiller” with patients? What to do when you hear the dreaded *crack* of a tuberosity? In this episode we talk about all things post-operative extraction complications! And I'm joined by one of the nicest guys in dentistry - Dr. Nekky Jamal  Complications are something we ALL experience, so this episode is great for any dentist. Whether you're brushing up on dry socket prevention, mastering post-op communication, or just curious about advanced healing hacks, tune in for real-world advice to make extractions smoother - for both you and your patients https://youtu.be/BvB3hDESYDY Watch PDP210 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: The "Niche Kebab" concept encourages dentists to narrow their focus by reducing the variety of procedures they perform and prioritizing those they genuinely enjoy. By evaluating every new skill or treatment added and strategically dropping less-loved procedures, dentists can avoid overextension and the "jack of all trades, master of none" pitfall.  Learn how to Extract Impacted 3rd Molars, don't miss out on Third Molars Online and use the coupon code ‘protrusive' to get 15% off! Key Takeaways Pain management is about setting realistic expectations. Dexamethasone can be beneficial but must be used cautiously. Dry socket is often overhyped; proper care can prevent it. Effective communication can alleviate patient anxiety and prevent misunderstandings and complaints. Preoperative care can help manage pain expectations. Understanding the signs of infection is essential for diagnosis. Chlorhexidine rinses can significantly reduce dry socket risk. Patients appreciate being informed about their unique dental situations. PRF can significantly reduce the incidence of dry socket. Dentists should embrace new techniques like PRF to enhance patient care. Patient involvement in post-surgical care is crucial for healing. Dentists should not hesitate to refer complex cases to specialists.

Pro Tips on Raising Orphaned Puppies Dr. Marty Greer joins host Laura Reeves to discuss how to raise orphaned puppies. How to help dams not reject their puppies, increase milk production and deal with mastitis are all covered. Pro tip number one is avoid having orphaned puppies, Greer notes. Increasing the dam's calcium intake, using Adaptil collars and saving placental fluid after a Csection are on Greer's list of ways to encourage the dam's maternal instinct to kick in. Pro tip number two is helping dams increase their milk production. “I don't know what there is magical about a Bratwurst, if it's the fat, if it's the salt, and I'm sure there's other things as well, but that's what I've had great success with. It helps them to eat better. It helps them to lactate better. The things that people use on the human side for lactation nurses are oatmeal and vegetables like sweet potatoes. So those are some things that you can do and they'll eat those sometimes when they won't eat their regular dog food. “But whatever you have to do to get them to eat, jump through hoops to make it happen. Because if she is eating and drinking, then you don't have to feed the puppies nearly as much. So you feed the machine that feeds the puppies. “Now the other things that help. Are fenugreek and that is in the Oxy Mama product that Revival has for improving lactation. And then Reglan which is metoclopramide, a prescription drug that you can get from your veterinary clinic. And one of the side effects is that it improves lactation. “So fenugreek and reglan make milk and oxytocin lets the milk be released from the glands so they work complementary to each other neither one replaces the other.” Pro tip number three regards mastitis. “I don't wean puppies unless the bitch is really, really sick or there's a giant necrotic opening in a gland. I will typically let the bitch still nurse her puppies because the amount of antibiotic coming through the milk is infinitesimally small. “First of all, let's talk about preventing mastitis. That means bathe her with a Chlorhexidine shampoo 3 or 4 days before she has puppies. So she goes into this clean. Don't let her go out in the mud or herd your sheep into the trailer when she's got newborns. And put her on a probiotic because that's going to all reduce the risk of her developing mastitis. “If she ends up with mastitis, make sure she gets enough fluids. She needs to be on an appropriate antibiotic and I put them on pain medication to bring down the fever, to reduce the inflammation and that again is safe for the bitch to take and still have the puppies nurse. There's not enough that gets into the milk, but it's going to hurt the puppies. “It's not just milk, it's maternal skills as well. She's licking the puppies, she's stimulating the puppies, she's treating the puppies the way puppies need to be treated. No amount of human hand-raising can substitute for that. I know we do our best but it's still always best for a bitch to be with her puppies than it is to be separated if there's any possibility of making that happen.”

Tune in for valuable insights that could influence your injection protocols.

Send us a Text Message.Today, we're focusing on three topics that are vital to us! Firstly, let's discuss the importance of chlorhexidine in the fight against Giardia. As breeders, we know how devastating Giardia can be, especially in puppies. We'll explore how chlorhexidine can be a game-changer in our kennels, from effective cleaning protocols to its role in preventing the spread of this persistent parasite.Next, we'll delve into the treatment of coccidia in puppies. It's a challenge many of us have faced, and understanding the best treatment options is crucial. We'll share our experiences and insights on medications, hygiene practices, and proactive steps to minimize the impact of coccidia on our litters.Finally, let's talk about confirming dog pregnancy. Whether you're eagerly awaiting a new litter or managing expectations, knowing how to reliably confirm pregnancy is essential. We'll discuss various methods—from physical signs and behavioral changes to the latest in diagnostic tests like ultrasound and x-rays. Jeanette ForreyWebinars (classes and training) Badass Breeder Badass Breeder on Facebook Badass Breeder on Instagram Empowered Breeder Software The Ultimate Badass Breeder's GuideRaising the Empowered Puppy Guide for ClientsYouTube Playlist Jeanette Forrey Email

Peu impliquée dans les cas de résistance bactérienne et efficace sur une large gamme de microbes pathogènes, la chlorexidine se trouve encore dans bon nombre de pharmacies domestiques et trousses de secours familiales. Elle se décline sous des formes diverses, que ce soit en solution aqueuse, alcoolique, en crème, en gel ou encore en bain de bouche. Cette variété de formats favorise un usage plus pratique selon la situation et l'âge de chacun. Mais, récemment, l'Ansm, Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé, a mis en garde la population française contre cet antiseptique très utilisé en automédication. Les principales utilisations de la chlorhexidine Eludrilpério, Biseptine spraid, pastilles Drill ou Dosispetine : tous ces médicaments ont en commun la présence de chlorhexidine. Cette molécule antiseptique est très active contre les bactéries à Gram positif comme les Staphylococcus, les Streptococcus et les Listeria. Elle agit longtemps sur la peau et les muqueuses sans pénétrer à travers l'épiderme, ce qui lui vaut une utilisation courante en bain de bouche, en désinfection de la peau et en traitement des plaies superficielles. Quel est le risque identifié par l'Ansm au sujet de la chlorhexidine ? L'Ansm a très récemment alerté les consommateurs en constatant une hausse des réactions allergiques graves qui ont fait suite à l'utilisation de chlorhexidine. Le problème résulte dans l'usage fréquent de ce produit. Le grand nombre de personnes exposées sur le territoire français induit un risque de sensibilisation accru à la molécule. Les réactions allergiques, qui peuvent être graves et surviennent généralement rapidement, incluent des symptômes tels que de l'urticaire, un gonflement rapide du visage, des difficultés à respirer, et dans les cas les plus graves, un choc anaphylactique constituant une urgence vitale. Toujours d'après l'Ansm, si ces réactions se manifestent, elles sont visibles dans l'heure qui suit directement l'application de la chlorhexidine. En cas de terrain atopique, mieux vaut donc surveiller la personne concernée durant cette période. Comment remplacer la chlorhexidine ? Pour une plaie superficielle, il n'est pas essentiel de désinfecter la peau. L'Ansm recommande de laver la zone avec de l'eau propre et du savon plutôt que d'utiliser un désinfectant commercialisé en pharmacie. Les médecins et pharmaciens sont également invités à proposer des produits dérivés sans chlorhexidine aux patients sensibles ou qui en font la demande. En cas d'antécédent allergique, il est important de le mentionner au professionnel de santé. Enfin, pensez à vérifier la présence de chlorhexidine dans les pastilles pour la gorge, désinfectants et bains de bouches que vous utilisez à la maison, et à choisir des alternatives lorsque cela est possible.

Puppy Strangles, Pyoderma and Neonatal Ophthalmia Dr. Marty Greer, DVM joins host Laura Reeves to discuss some of the weird and scary diseases that can affect our puppies, including puppy strangles, puppy pyoderma and neonatal opththalmia. Puppy Strangles “Essentially what it is, is it's an allergic reaction or an over immune reaction to bacteria that are normally found on the skin. So we normally see streps and staph on the skin of mammals. Puppies, humans, whatever. And in a small population of puppies, we see this allergic reaction. And the reason we call it strangles is because the lymph nodes in the neck become enlarged, hugely enlarged. And sometimes that's the first symptoms that are seen. Sometimes they're skin lesions that are noticed first. “They typically start on the lips, at the very front of the face, at the very front of the lips. And then they'll move back, and then they'll move to the eyelids and then they'll move to the ears. It's sort of like when you have an anaphylactic reaction and a dog, a vaccination or beesting. It starts at the very tip of the nose and then moves its way back. “They'll see open draining wounds and they'll be really sticky. There's a lot of serum that comes out of them, so they're really sticky. Gooey, messy things and fussy. Puppy Pyoderma “A fair number of puppies have (this), especially the little girls, right in front of their vulva on their tummies where there's not much hair. They get urine scalds, they develop something (more) serious. “(It's) not a really serious condition. And anytime I can treat something topically just with cleaning it with wipes or with Chlorhexidine or a shampoo or applying a nice type of a cream or an ointment to it and get rid of it without using an oral antibiotic. I'm going to the same with vaginitis and balanoposthitis in the boys. Do not routinely put your little girls that have vaginitis or your little boys that have balanoposthitis, that green pussy stuff that comes out of the tip of the prepuce. They don't need to be on an antibiotic for that. It's not serious treat it locally. Be smart about it. Neonatal Opththalmia “Somehow bacteria got behind the sealed eyelids before they open their eyes. I've seen it happen with females that have had metritis. If you read the literature, it says that it's in unclean conditions. Well, in my experience it has been households that are incredibly clean. Like you could eat off their floors, but there's bacteria in the environment. Often from the bitch having metritis or mastitis something in the environment and the bacteria gets behind this sealed eyelids and turns into this little pocket of pus. It's quite disgusting. “This is a medical emergency. You need to come in immediately, get the eyelids open, get them on oral and topical antibiotics and you'll save their vision. And I have seen multiple puppies because it wasn't recognized, either the puppy didn't have enough swelling for the owner to recognize it or the eyelids didn't open on time. Or a variety of different things. And the puppies can be blind. I had one puppy that was blind in both eyes, so it's very serious and needs to be handled.”

There are many terms and acronyms commonly used in neonatology that most people are not familiar with. Even medical clinicians who are not familiar with the NICU, are unlikely to know about UACs or UVCs. And most NICU parents probably did not know that you can access a newborn's venous and/or arterial system through their umbilicus until the providers explained the procedure to them.  For our 40th podcast episode, we reviewed some of those common NICU acronyms, but specifically the different venous and arterial line options commonly used in the NICU. These terms may be casually discussed during conversations between NICU clinicians, but it is important that as a parent, you understand the different peripheral and central lines infants in the NICU commonly need. Not only should you understand what they are, but you should also know when they are used or why one option is chosen over another. Additionally, it is imperative that you know the potential complications with each line, so you know what questions to ask when the NICU providers speak with you about each option.Start listening and get ready to become empowered as we review peripheral and arterial lines common to the NICU!Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/NeoTech: https://www.neotechproducts.com/NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/Episode 40 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode40Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparentsPinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

Infants in the NICU are patients that require specialized care with unique clinical considerations. Specific recommendations must be considered for all systems of NICU patients and the skin is not any different. Infants who are being cared for in the NICU, especially those that were born premature have an increased risk for skin trauma. On this episode, we review some of the skin care guidelines and recommendations available for clinical practice of NICU patients. As NICU clinicians, is is important to not only be aware of the anatomical variations of a term and preterm infant's skin, but to also know how that guides their clinical care and treatment plan. Many of the topics we cover on this episode have been standards of care for years, but there are also new recommendations for practice and products available based on recent research findings. NICU clinicians will hear a great review as well as up-to-date clinical recommendations for skin care of our specialized population in the NICU.

CS deliveries are the most frequently performed inpatient surgeries in the US. The ERAS pathway for planned cesarean deliveries does not include preadmission CHG cloths because of the lack of evidence from randomized, controlled trials. In July 2020, the AJOG published the STRIPES RCT to see whether use of these cloths resulted in decreased SSI. We will cover this in this episode.

Dr. Raghunath Puttaiah is a specialist in infection control, OSHA compliance trainer and epidemiologist. Do you recommend closing or only seeing emergencies? As trained dental professionals need to use common sense and use what we know. Use screening procedures and continue seeing emergencies with caution. Try not to do high splash procedures and post the protocol in your office and on social media. Use a skeleton crew, wash hands upon entering, and don't touch things if possible, especially with dirty gloves. For an N95 to work properly, the seal has to be tight with a respirator attached. A regular mask keeps someone from coughing on you or vice versa. Masks are good for droplets, but aspirate gets through. Wearing a respirator mask for even a short time will make it difficult to breathe unless it is a negative pressure mask. What precautions should we be taking and what procedures qualify as an emergency? What about the hygiene department who can't work? Reduce procedures that include splashing, don't polish or use a cavitron without a direct suction tip and preferably hand scale. If the patient is in pain, do a dry look first. If it needs antibiotics then do it, if it is a surgical extraction you need to wait because it uses a handpiece. If the tooth is bombed out and needs a root canal do it. To crown, you'll still need to prep with a rubber dam, high suction, and 4 handed dentistry. Just avoid things with aerosols. UV suction air filters such as Surgically Clean air which is a centralized or portable system that reduces up to 95% of aerosols. Is it true that hydrogen peroxide reduces the virus load? Do a preprocedural mouth rinse such as Listerine or Chlorhexidine. Life will move on, so be cautious but don't freak out. What do we do about lockdown areas if we have patients with temp crowns? Clean out by hand and reseal. To adjust anything, use chlorhexidine as an irrigant or a bur without coolant if done slowly. Can they use a cavitron with Peridex? Yes, but it is expensive and you will need to do assisted hygiene for suction. Should facial hair be shaved? If you don't, wash several times per day. You also can't wear a respirator with one. In surgery, you should already use a beard net. Is an isolite okay to use? Yes if it's two-handed, but it's also noisy. Do you dilute the peridex or will it clog up the lines? Don't dilute more than 0.12%, but either way, it doesn't clog the lines. Chlorhexidine stays for a longer period of time, but Listerine is sufficient or a short time. If you are using the painter's mask don't use it longer than half a day. The biggest thing is that no matter the mask you use that you have a good fit. When do you think things will get back to normal? The term novel means that we just don't know. It could be several months. We should be used to infection control because of our jobs. Don't expect the ADA to make sanctions on this. What can we do to ease employee fears? You are the leaders in your office. You need

Despite limited evidence, chlorhexidine oral care is used worldwide in the prevention of intubation-related pneumonia as it is recommended by leading health institutions. Recent research, however, questions the safety of this practice with a trend towards increased mortality in meta-analyses and a solid association with mortality in a large hospital-wide cohort study.

Welcome to Bark & Wag’s 15 Minute Vet Talk – I am your host Polly ReQua   Today we are talking to Dr. Laura Brown, a Veterinarian and owner of Green Tree Animal Hospital in Libertyville, IL as we discuss dental health. Dr. Brown, thank you for taking the time to talk about dental health with our dogs.  Welcome and please let us know more about our dog’s teeth? Vet Clinic Hygiene Why it is important to have professional cleanings? How often? Why is it so important to your pet’s overall health? How it is done? Home Oral Hygiene Home oral hygiene can make a tremendous difference in your dog’s comfort and health.  There are several home care oral hygiene options from which to choose, but keep in mind that anything you can do to help prevent plaque and tartar accumulation will pay big dividends. What really matters is whether or not home oral hygiene will be provided over the long haul – considerable effort applied only for a short period or only occasionally will be of no long-term benefit.   Options for home oral hygiene that have been proven to be of benefit for dogs. Combining several methods will achieve the best results.  All methods of home oral hygiene share the goal of preventing or controlling periodontal disease by minimizing plaque (bacterial film) accumulation, and preventing the mineralization of the plaque to form calculus (“tartar”).   BRUSHING and TOOTH-PASTES: Brushing your dog’s teeth is the single most effective means to maintain oral health between professional dental examinations. This makes sense because the bacterial film known as “plaque” is the cause of periodontal disease. This film is easily disrupted by the simple mechanical effect of brushing the teeth. Frequent (ideally daily) brushing is recommended to maintain optimal dental health. Almost all dogs will eventually accept brushing. The key to success is to be patient and gradual in your approach, brushing mainly the outsides of the “cheek teeth” located under the upper lip. A dog that resists brushing frequently may have painful areas in the mouth that need to be addressed. A variety of products safe for pets are available in the marketplace. If you use a brush and a dentifrice, AVDC recommends pet-specific toothpastes. These come in flavors that dogs accept, such as poultry and seafood. Avoid human toothpastes as they often contain abrasives and high-foaming detergents that should not be swallowed or inhaled by dogs. Toothbrushes designed for dogs are soft and angled to assist in brushing the back teeth. Some dogs prefer finger brushes. A variety of “dental wipes” containing different products are available. The single-use wipes are rubbed daily on the outside of the teeth to remove plaque. CHLORHEXIDINE ORAL RINSE and GEL: Chlorhexidine is the most effective anti-plaque antiseptic. Chlorhexidine binds to the oral tissues and tooth surfaces, and is gradually released into the oral cavity. It is safe for pets and rarely causes problems, though it does have a bitter taste if palatability enhancers suitable for dogs are not included. Some dogs may object to the taste of products containing chlorhexidine while others accept it with no difficulty. The rinse is applied by squirting a small amount inside the cheek on each side of the mouth. The gel is applied by smearing it onto the teeth. The tongue and lips will spread the rinse or gel around the mouth. DIETS and CHEWS:  Several “dental diets” have been shown to be of benefit in decreasing dental disease. Some employ a specific kibble design and others include a chemical anti-tartar poly-phosphate ingredient.  Rawhide products and chew treats can be helpful if chewed daily, and some rawhide chews and biscuits contain an anti-tartar ingredient. Palatability is important – chewing every day is the ideal.Dogs are carnivores – they chew on bones in the wild. However, AVDC does not recommend cow hooves, dried natural bones or hard nylon products because they are too hard and do not mimic the effect of a dog tearing meat off a carcass. These hard products are associated with broken teeth or damaged gums. Chew toys are only of benefit if they are played with frequently and over the long haul – you can increase the dog’s willingness to chew by smearing palatable peanut butter or soft cheese on the product. Pet dogs should be monitored while chewing a chew treat or toy, as they may swallow large pieces, leading to a variety of digestive system disorders.        

Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to many of the agents we use to deal with them, including antiseptics. The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is one example and causes hard to treat skin, chest, and urine infections in hospitals. Now, a team at the University of Newcastle, Australia have discovered a gene that renders Acinetobacter resistant to the chemical chlorhexidine that's used in hand disinfectants.

So many choices. Dr Mike and Dr Tom discuss their favorite mouthrinses. Spoiler alert: they both hate Chlorhexidine.

In this episode I went to Melbourne and had the absolute pleasure of meeting Carol Bradley. From humble beginnings as a kennel maid in 1973 Carol worked all the way up to her current role teaching and training vet students at the University of Melbourne. Carol is a Tutor in small animal surgery, and the Veterinary Skills Centre Manager and Nurse Educator. When it comes to teaching vet students Carol is also responsible for lectures and practical class supervision in the surgical discipline with a focus on aseptic and operating room technique, instruments, biomaterials, suture technique, the sterilizing process, and approach to basic surgical procedures.In Carol’s career she’s been a bit of a trailblazer in raising standards in veterinary surgical nursing, including being the first vet nurse to gain her qualification in cleaning, disinfecting and sterilization at the human hospital standard. She was also the first vet nurse to be given an academic position in the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Melbourne.Carol is a popular speaker on the veterinary circuit, has a long list of publications, and even invented the Bradley Cat Lap drape. Carol loves innovation. She’s a great advocate for vet nurses and for lifelong learning; currently studying a postgrad certificate in Infection Prevention and Control through Griffith University. Not only was Carol just a delight to meet and interview, she also shared a lot of really useful, and practical, evidence based information. We’ve already made improvements at Ready Vet on the basis of what Carol had to say. As always I’ve tried to put links in the show notes to everything we discussed, so if you find yourself frantically reaching for your pen head to radiovetnurse.com and check the show notes for this episode.We discussed:· https://www.aorn.org/ - Association of periOperative Registered Nurses USA· Carol was the first veterinary nurse to apply and successfully pass the Certificate III in Health (Sterilizing for Technicians), applying the Australian & New Zealand Standard 4187 “Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing reusable medical and surgical instruments and associated equipment, and maintenance of associated environments and health care facilities”, making it the first Veterinary Teaching Hospital to align with human hospital standards in the faculty’s hospital’s Central Sterilizing Service Department.· In 2013 Carol was awarded her Associate Fellow in the Higher Education Academy (Veterinary Education) from the Royal Veterinary College, London.· Carol is currently studying a Postgraduate Certificate in Infection Prevention Control through Griffith University.· In 2008 Carol designed a range of single use veterinary surgical drapes for the largest Australian hospital supplies manufacturer, Defies Industries. The Bradley Cat Lap drape is still in use via Provet.· Carol’s recommendations for sterilizers: o Prevacuum sterilizers are better (than downwards displacement sterilizers) for hollow items and faster turnaround. o Mediquip or Device Technologies for a nice little benchtop sterilizer – must have a drying cycle. o Atherton for the very large hospital size sterilizer. o See also DLC Australia.· Recommendations for packaging: o Paper bags for soft items (cotton balls, swabs etc, no sharp items). o Laminate – window packs. Good for light instruments, not sharp. Small items/sets. o Polypropylene wraps/single use wraps. Linen around this if getting excess moisture in chamber.· Chlorhexidine is a cationic chemical, povidone-iodine is an anionic chemical and they cancel each other out.

After the acne episode with Clinical Aesthetician Pam Marshall went live, skincare questions flew my way, so I thought the best recourse would be to invite Pam back as a guest on the show to offer her wisdom.We cover a huge range of topics, including dryness, pigmentation, scarring, ageing, and skin-friendly make-up. As those of you who listened to Pam's thoughts on treating acneic skin will know, she doesn't mince her words and her advice is extremely sound.Some of the products she mentions include:- Neostrata Pigment Control- Chantecaille make-up- It Cosmetics CC Cream- Clinisept (NOTE: after going live, I was advised by Pam and her team that Clinisept doesn't contain Chlorhexidine as is stated in the episode).- Exuviance Night Renewal Hydrogel- Retinols by Exuviance, Medik 8, Neostrata, Murad, Skinceuticals, CosMedix- Exuviance Hydrating Eye Complex, CosMedix Eye GeniusBeauty Full Lives is hosted by Madeleine Spencer, produced by Charlie Jones, and with artwork by Sung Lee.

Editor's Audio Summary by Howard Bauchner, MD, Editor in Chief of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for the January 27, 2015 issue

Objective: To investigate the effect of chlorhexidine applications in various forms and concentrations on adhesion and failure modes of metal brackets in vitro. Material and methods: Ninety bovine enamel specimens were allocated to six groups (n=15). Metal brackets were bonded on all specimens after chlorhexidine pre-treatments forming the following groups: (1) untreated specimens (control); (2) 40% varnish (EC40, Biodent BV, Netherlands), remnants removed with brushing mimicking patient cleaning; (3) 40% varnish (EC40), remnants removed with brushing mimicking professional cleaning; (4) 1% varnish (Cervitec Plus, Ivoclar vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), remnants not removed; (5) brushed with% 1 gel (Corsodyl, GlaxoSmithKline, Munchenbuchsee, Germany), remnants not removed; (6) immersed in 0.07% mouthrinse (Corsodyl, GlaxoSmithKline, Munchenbuchsee, Germany), remnant not rinsed. Debonding of brackets was performed using a universal testing machine. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Scheffe test. Results: Group 4 performed significantly inferior than all the other groups and the control. Group 4 presented the highest number of adhesive failures at the enamel-resin interface whereas in other groups no failures at adhesive-resin interface was observed. Conclusion: Presence of chlorhexidine varnish prior to bracket bonding adversely affects adhesion. Concentration of chlorhexidine pre-treatment has no influence on shear bond strength.

Standard means of endodontic therapy have changed within the last decade due to new technical developments and an increasing scientific knowledge in this field. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the current status of materials, instruments and appliances used for root canal treatment by dentists in Bavaria. A comprehensive questionnaire was performed among 6900 Bavarian dentists in the year 2004. By use of a standardized questionnaire sheet, the colleagues were asked to give written information about their individual therapeutic concepts including the materials as used to perform root canal treatment. A total of 1666 dentists were enrolled into this study returning the questionnaire within the period of time that has been scheduled. This corresponds to a 24.1% return ratio. Detailed analysis of the collected data revealed the following specific results: The dentists included into the study had an age range from 27 to 71 years. Stratifying the study sample into different categories of age showed that the majority of study subjects belonged to the subgroup of age from 35 to 49 years (53,2%). The majority of dentists were male (77.5%) and most frequently dentists were working in private practices (71%). The age- and gender distribution of the participating dentists in this study is comparable to a statistic of the federal dental association (KZBV 2005). Regarding the health care insurance of patients that are treated endodontically on average 17% of patients had a private health care insurance. Considering the individual treatment means used by the dentists for endodontic therapy the following results were achieved: On average each dentist performed 10.5 root canal treatments per week. Regarding the method used for the determination of endodontic working length (multiple answers possible) 81% of the dentists used radiographs for this purpose. A comparably high percentage of dentists (46.6%) used endometric devices for the determination of the working length. Instrumentation of root canals (multiple answers possible) was performed by 57% of dentists with machine driven devices along with Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) files. The Profile system represents the most popular machine driven endodontic treatment system among Bavarian dentists since this particular system was used by 46% of study participants followed by the ProTaper system (32%) and the Flexmaster system (31%). Machine driven endodontic treatment devices were mainly used with a suitable torque-limited motor. The various products used for this purpose were (multiple answers possible) TriAutoZX, Morita (17.5%), ATR, Dentsply (14.9%), Endostepper, SET (11.4%) and Endo IT Control, VDW (11.1%). Nevertheless, a considerable percentage of dentists (35%) used machine driven devices without torque control. For the irrigation of instrumented root canals dentists spent a mean time of 2.1 minutes and used irrigating solutions (multiple denominations possible) as follows: NaOCl (85.1%), H2O2 (62.4%), EDTA (18.1%), CHX (15.2%). Overall, there was observed an increasing use of machine driven devices along with NiTi files and of EDTA and Chlorhexidine as compared with previous studies. Moreover, comparison of present data with current studies form different European and Non-European countries revealed that the use of rotating NiTi systems was significantly higher among Bavarian dentists. Based on the present results it can be assumed that the concepts as used for endodontic treatment by Bavarian dentists represents a high therapeutic standard.
