Evaluation of the effect of two chlorhexidine preparations

onbiofilmbacteria invitro: a threedimensional quantitative

analysis.

His study developed a biofilm model that closely mimicked in vivo

biofilm to determine its susceptibility to endodontic antimicrobial

irrigants by three-dimensional quantitative analysis. Collagen-coated

hydroxyapatite (C-HA) and uncoated hydroxyapatite (HA) disks were

inoculated with dispersed subgingival plaque for three weeks. Thick

biofilms rich in spirochetes were formed on both substrates. Biofilms

were subjected to 1-, 3-, and 10-minute exposures to CHX-Plus™

(Vista Dental Products, Racine, WI) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX). After

treatment, the volume ratio of dead bacteria to all bacteria in biofilms,

indicated by the ratio of red and (red + green) fluorescence, was

analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy for each medicament.

The proportion of killed bacteria depended on type of irrigant and time

of exposure in both C-HA and HA biofilm models (p = 0.00).

CHX-Plus™

showed higher levels of bactericidal activity at all exposure times

than 2%CHX (p < 0.001).

The C-HA biofilm was thicker than the HA

biofilm. Less bacteria were killed in C-HA biofilm than in the HA model.

The synergistic antimicrobial effect by mechanical agitation

and two chlorhexidine preparations on biofilm bacteria.

This study investigates whether mechanical agitation (ultra-sonic or

sonic) improves effectiveness of chlorhexidine against biofilm bacteria

in vitro. Collagen-coated hydroxyapatite (CHA) disks were exposed

to dispersed subgingival plaque for 3 weeks at 37 degrees C. The

multispecies biofilms established were subjected for 1 and 3 minutes

to CHX-Plus™ (Vista Dental Products, Racine, WI) and 2% chlorhexidine

(CHX), with or without mechanical agitation. After treatment, the

amount of dead bacteria in biofilms was analyzed by viability staining

and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The morphology of

biofilms, with or without mechanical agitation, was also examined by

CLSM.The structure of the biofilm showed no obvious change when the

surrounding solutions were exposed to continuous ultrasonic or sonic

agitation.

Combined use of mechanical agitation and chlorhexidine

had a more pronounced anti-microbial effect against the biofilms

than either one alone.
