Abstract

Introduction: Dental bacterial plaque control is fundamental in order to prevent dental caries as well as to prevent periodontal disease through an orthodontic treatment.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of two rinses regarding dental bacterial plaque control during the orthodontic treatment in pediatric patients, applying Chlorhexidine Gluconate (0.12%) vs. Sodium Fluoride (0.5%). Materials and methods: We designed a clinical experimental study, which included 42 patients from six to eleven years old with their first four permanent molars erupted, dividing them in two experimental groups and one control. We measured the initial OHI-S, 1, 3 and 6 months after the application of the rinses. We used the t-Tests to compare the average intra-groups and an ANOVA test for comparisons.

Results: Both experimental groups were effective in decrease the OHI-S values.

Conclusions: Chlorhexidine Gluconate was more effective for dental bacterial plaque control with a significant difference of p ≤ 0.05.
