Biochemical control of dental biofilms
Keywords:
periodontal biofilm, periodontitis, biochemical control of biofilm, periodontal therapyAbstract
Introduction: the WHO defines periodontal disease as the second leading cause of tooth loss worldwide, affecting 15 % to 20 % of middle-aged adults. Objective: to systematize characteristics and effects of the chemical agents used in biofilm control. Method: a search of scientific articles related to the biochemical control of biofilm was carried out. For this purpose, scientific information was collected from different bibliographic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar). Upgraded, quality and veracity of the information selected, was analyzed. Results: researchers refer that mechanical plaque removal method remains widely accepted as a form of keep a good oral hygiene. Chemical agents provide considerable preventive action, they are more effective in inhibiting plaque development, and however, they may affect plaque once established. Final considerations: chemical agents provide a higher preventive action than therapeutic. They are more effective for inhibiting plaque development, but they have limitations.Downloads
