Antibacterial Intervention: Evaluating Chlorhexidine's Effectiveness in Caries Management

This evidence-based compendium examines the role of chlorhexidine (CHX) as an antibacterial agent in managing dental caries, which is recognized as an infectious bacterial disease. The review focuses on the antibacterial properties of CHX and its effectiveness in reducing caries experience. While chlorhexidine shows promise in preventing and managing caries, its efficacy is limited in populations with low caries experience and is insufficient as a standalone treatment for conditions with high bacterial counts. Its clinical utility is best noted in patients with elevated levels of Streptococcus mutans.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Evidence based Compendium Antibacterial intervention: Chlorhexidine

  2. Evidence based Compendium Rationale MI understanding considers caries to be an infectious bacterial disease. MI treatment on micro or molecular level starts by addressing the infection, using antibacterial agents such as Chlorhexidine.

  3. Evidence based Compendium Review objective To appraise the antibacterial properties of CHX in reducing caries experience

  4. Evidence based Compendium Search keywords

  5. Evidence based Compendium Reviewed articles

  6. Evidence based Compendium Place of origin of accepted trials

  7. Evidence based Compendium

  8. Evidence based Compendium The evidence suggests that Chlorhexidine can be effective for caries prevention and management. However, it has limited effect in populations with low caries experience and is insufficient when used as the sole measure to address conditions with high bacterial counts and strong acidogenic plaque.

  9. Evidence based Compendium Clinical implication Chlorhexidine is useful for patients with high S. mutans levels.
