Summary
Objectives: To reduce the microbial level in the aerosol created during dental procedures is
essential in avoiding infections. The aim of this study was to examine the change of
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and the total bacterial load in human saliva in vivo after a
single rinse with different mouthwashes.
Material and methods: One mL unstimulated saliva was collected from volunteers with poor oral
hygiene at baseline and 5 min after a one-min rinsing with Solumium Oral® (hyper-pure 0.0015%
chlorine dioxide; ClO2), Listerine Total Care®, Corsodyl® (0.2% chlorhexidine-digluconate;
CHX), or BioGate Si*CLEAN for bacterial investigation. In a second study volunteers rinsed
with 0.003% ClO2 or CHX for one-min and saliva was collected at baseline, after 5 and 90 min.
After plating the total plate and S. mutans colony numbers were determined.
