ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΠΙΔΡΑΣΗΣ ΔΥΟ ΦΘΟΡΙΟΥΧΩΝ ΣΚΕΥΑΣΜΑΤΩΝ ΣΤΟΝ S MUTANS ΣΕ ΑΣΘΕΝΕΙΣ ΜΕ ΟΡΘΟΔΟΝΤΙΚΑ ΜΗΧΑΝΗΜΑΤΑ

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE WHETHER PATIENTS TREATED WITH FIXED ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES PRESENT ALTERATIONS IN THEIR ORAL ECOLOGY AND SPECIFICALLY IN THE LEVELS OF S.MUTANS. IN ADDITION THE EFFECT OF TWO FLUORIDE COMPOUNDS ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE AND STANNOUS FLUORIDE. ON THE TOTAL BACTERIA (TOTAL COLONY FORMING UNITS) AND ON S.MUTANS WAS STUDIED DURING THEIR USE ANDAFTER IT. THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE S.MUTANS LEVELSIN SALIVA ARE ELEVATED IN ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS, 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INSERTION OF ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES IN THE MOUTH. 2. STANNOUS FLUORIDE GEL 0.4% USED TWICEDAILY REDUCES S.MUTANS LEVELS OF A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT RATE, BUT IT DOESNOT AFFECT TOTAL BACTERIA LEVELS. 3. ACIDULISTED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE GEL 1.1% DOES NOT AFFECT EITHER S. MUTANS OR TOTAL BACTERIA LEVELS. 4. THE REDUCTION OF S.MUTANS LEVELS BY STANNOUS FLUORIDE IS GRADUAL AND IT TAKES 6 WEEKS FOR IT TO BECOME STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. THERE IS A CARRY-OVER EFFECT OF THE S.MUTANS REDUCTION BY STANNOUS FLUORIDE WHICH LASTED 3 WEEKS AFTER THE DISCONTINUATION OFTHE USE OF THE GEL.
