Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of chlorhexidine mouthwash over the amount of bacterian plaque present in adults with orthodontic treatment appliances, living in the Bucaramanga metropolitan area, patients that attend the Santo Tomas University dental clinics, during the second semester of 2007.
Materials and Methods: A controlled clinical essay was performed in 60 adults with orthodontic appliances. It was established the OPI plaque index (Ortho-Plaque index) and the gingival index (GI index). The experimental group received the basic maintenance therapy, chlorhexidine digluconate at 0.2% to be used as a 10 ml non dilute mouthwash, twice (2) a day for 15 days.
Results: The patients exposed to the intervention had 2.2 times probability (1.6 versus 3.3) of their IC to get the OPI index whose values reflect a good oral hygiene.
Conclusions: The patients with orthodontic appliances who used chlorhexidine digluconate (0.2%), for fifteen days long had a significant reduction of bacterian plaque.
