Abstract Introduction: For patients with fixed orthodontic appliances oral hygiene is demanding. Insufficient oral hygiene and inappropriate toothbrushing results in plaque (biofilm) in places that are difficult to reach. These can become places of early origin of caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Aim: This study focused on the formation and composition of biofilm in the group of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances, who were suffering from gingivitis a following repeated mouthwash with a solution of betaglucan and aluminium lactate. 18

2 rocïnõâk22 Methods: The double-blind cross-over study on 21 patients who were evaluated using community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), periodontal bleeding index (PBI), plaque formation index (PLI), and some resident bacteria before and after four days treatment with rinses of beta-glucan and aluminium lactate, aluminium lactate and placebo, without simultaneous mechanical tooth brushing or cleaning of interdental spaces. Results: PLI increased after the use of all three mouthrinses. The combination of aluminium lactate and betaglucan caused decreased PBI; CPITN increased in the case of placebo; in two mouth rinses tested CPITN values did not change. When mouth rinse with aluminium lactate was used, the overall number of bacteria monitored lowered considerably. Conclusion: Mouth rinses with beta-glucan and/or aluminium lactate proved safe from the biological viewpoint. Together with mechanical tooth brushing, beta-glucan with aluminium lactate could be used as a natural chemo-prophylactic agent in oral hygiene (Ortodoncie 2013, 22, No. 1, p ).

V pravidelneï Introduction Oral hygiene plays an important role in dental medicine for prevention of damage hard dental and periodontal tissues. Caries, gingivitis and periodontitis caused by plaque, have a common pathogenic basis, i.e. microbial biofilm (dental plaque), which if not removed properly, results in the problems mentioned [1]. A biofilm is basically a community of microorganisms characterized by cells that are irreversibly attached to the enamel or to other bacteria embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances produced by the cells. These cells have a different phenotype with regard to growth speed and gene transcription [2, 3]. Dentistry was the first branch of medicine where microbiologists found on that the biofilm (dental plaque) is a natural living mode for bacteria [4]. Bacterial biofilms are found on the surfaces of human organs (gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary tract), body implants, e.g. cannulas, prosthetic joints and valves. The growth in biofilm confers biological advantage to the bacterial colonies. They are then more resistant to antibiotics, mechanical damage, host immunity, and they attach in an environment rich in nutrients and take advantage of the cooperation [3]. The buccal cavity is populated by resident microflora. So far about 700 bacterial species have been identified [5,6]; however, only about 60% of the species can be cultivated. Partial knowledge of non-cultivated species can be obtained using methods of molecular biology (e.g. PCR and Raman's microscopy) [7]. Dental plaque composed of resident microflora, covers enamel of natural as well as surface of artificial teeth, fixed orthodontic appliances, and gingiva. Resident microflora prevent exogenous microorganisms from enamel colonization [8]. Plaque is the major cause of periodontal disease and caries. Plaque, that is not regularly removed, undergoes a process of calcification [9, 10]. Pathogenic bacteria containing plaque bio- 19

The invasive treatment and even minor injuries due to tooth brushing cause the bacteria to escape into the bloodstream [4, 11]. The composition of oral microflora is specific for each individual depending on their constitution, age and gender (pregnancy, menopause), tendency to caries and quality of oral hygiene. The daily diet (some micronutrients) plays an important role, as well as diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus), amount and composition of saliva, lower self-cleaning due to e.g. teeth crowding, faulty fillings, prosthetics, and orthodontic appliances. The bacterial biofilm composition differs according to the type of oral cavity surface. There are different environments in the oral cavity - e.g. lips, buccal surfaces and soft palate, tongue, supragingival and subgingival tooth surface. However, overall representation of individual microorganisms in already formed biofilm remains stable during the life of an individual [4]. Tooth brushes and interdental brushes with toothpaste, dental thread, interdental stimulators, and dental showers (irrigators) play a key role in biofilm removal [1]. More effective elimination is ensured using chemical inhibitors that slow down biofilm formation and inhibit oral pathogens. Effective synthetic/natural chemoprophylaxis should combine antimicrobial (antiseptic) and antiadhesive effects. These requirements are met by several antiseptics. Chlorhexidine digluconate [12] and essential oils - thymol, eucalyptol, menthol and methylsalicylate are the most effective. The latter are active components of Listerine Ò products [13]. However, a number of secondary plant metabolites, e.g. quarternary benzophenantridine alcaloids found in e.g. extract of Macleya cordata [14, 15], proanthocyanidines of A2 types found in fruits of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) [16-19], polyphenols found in fruits of Vitis vinifera [20] display antiplaque effects. Natural substances with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and adstringent effects, such as allantoin, phenolic acids, green tea components, natural oils, probiotic bacteria, vitamins B, C, D, E, biominerals Ca, Mg, Zn are used as active components of oral hygiene products as well [15, 21-25]. Beta-glucans, polysaccharides of yeast cell wall (Sacharomyces cerevisie), fungi, some bacteria and plants have significant immunomodulation effects [26], and are recommended to enhance healing process before and after surgery in the oral cavity [15]. The effect of beta-glucans on experimental gingivitis was recently studied in rats [27] and human volunteers [28]. Aluminium lactate is adstringent, it also stops bleeding, and helps in elimination of halitosis [29]. Therefore, it is often 20

Insufficient elimination of dental plaque is frequently observed especially in adolescent orthodontic patients with fixed appliance [12], for this reason, we focused on this group in our study. The aim of our work was to evaluate the impact of mouth rinses with b-glucanes and/or aluminium lactate on plaque formation in patients treated with fixed orthodontic appliances using a double-blind study and volunteers. Material and method Mouth rinses containing 1) placebo, and 2) combination of aluminium lactate and b-glucan, and 3) aluminium lactate were used. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital and Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University in Olomouc on February 14, 2011 (ref. No. 14/11). The sample was of 21 patients between the ages of 12 and 28 (16.0 ± 3.8), with complete dentition, healthy, nonsmokers, treated with fixed orthodontic appliances. All had significant manifestations of gingivitis. To assess the impact of mouth rinses we used double-blind cross-over design (Fig. 1) [31]. The volunteers gradually used all mouth rinses tested in random order. The control group included the same patients using placebo (Sample 1). During each check-up we evaluated the following parameters: periodontium condition by means of CPITN and PBI, the level of oral hygiene by means of plaque index PLI [32]. In the given intervals (6x) from each volunteer a sample of plaque swab was taken and sent for microbiological examination. Samples were cultivated in blood agar, Sabouraud agar, and MacConkey agar. They were evaluated semiquantitatively starting with ¹rareª and ending with ¹+++ª. The evaluation was translated into the scale 0-3 for individual microorganisms, and in each individual the amount of microbes at the beginning and at the end of the testing period was calculated. During the preliminary examination we removed tartar and plaque from all patients and gave them a sample of mouth rinse. For 4 days, the patients abandoned common oral hygiene (tooth brush and tooth paste) and 5 times a day (after they woke up, after breakfast, lunch, dinner, and before going to bed) they intensively rinsed their mouths (around teeth and gums) with 10 ml experimental mouthwash/placebo for 1 min. On day 4 there was a check-up, subjective impressions related to the use of a mouthwash were recorded, and patients were instructed on how to care for dentition according to Stillman. Over 14 days (i.e. wash-out period) the patients used tooth brush and interdental brush with a tooth paste containing no inhibitors of dental plaque with the exception of sodium fluoride, for 5 min in the morning and in the evening. 21

For each mouth rinse, final n = 20 was evaluated. Results One volunteer dropped out due to subjective discomfort. The care that was limited only to the use of mouth rinse was considered insufficient substitute for tooth brushing; some volunteers reported the feeling of insufficient oral hygiene. However, no negative side effects were found. Paired tests confirmed statistically significant decrease in PBI after the use of mouth rinse containing the combination of aluminium lactate and beta-glucan. For CPITN, the values increased after the use of placebo (p=0.033), but they did not change significantly for tested mouth rinses (p = 0.017, Fig.2).

In the dental plaque we found a wide range of microorganisms; some occurred repeatedly, some only rarely. Mostly common oral flora was cultivated. Viridans streptococci, coagulase-negative streptococci, oral neiseria, and coliform bacteria, depending on the patient's dental condition, and his/her food were identified. In 12 swabs yeasts were found that persisted during the whole study. The Wilcoxon paired test showed a statistically significant reduction of bacteria after the use of mouth rinse containing aluminium lactate (p = 0.025, Fig. 2); however, Friedman test did not show statistically any significant difference in number of microorganisms between individual mouth rinses (p = 0.252). 23

Discussion The study showed that substitution of mechanical tooth brushing with intensive rinsing of mouth with experimental mouthwashes resulted in increased accumulation of plaque (according to the plaque index PLI). When placebo was applied, then CPITN increased. The results agree with the conclusions of a similar study of a mouthwash containing hop polyphenols [31]. The use of mouthwash containing b-glucan led to PBI decrease. A recent study with rats showed that b-glucan administered in drinking water significantly reduced the loss of bone tissue in a model of experimental periodontitis [27]. Similar effects were recorded in healthy men that with experimentally induced gingivitis. In comparison with a control group the PLI and gingival index were not influenced - the values of these indexes increased in all volunteers during the experiment. A significant increase in gingival liquid was observed in the group of probands who rinsed their mouths with b-glucan containing mouthwash and then swallowed it [28]. The use of a mouthwash with aluminium lactate led to decrease in overall number of microorganisms in dental plaque. This is the first report for this substance to date. Aluminium lactate is known and used especially for its astringent effects. It is assumed that on the gum and tooth neck surface it initiates the formation of a coagulation membrane that for a short time protects gums/dentine against irritation. This stops inflammation and inhibits pain. Optimum effect of aluminium lactate was achieved in the concentration 0.05% and lasted for 3-4 hours. Coagulation action of aluminium lactate on albuminoid components in dentine ducts inhibits their ability to transmit irritation which results in desenzibilitation of exposed necks. Aluminium lactate also helps to eliminate halitosis [29]. Conclusion The study found that b-glucan and aluminium lactate positively, though insignificantly, influence oral hygiene but they cannot fully substitute for mechanical cleaning with a tooth brush. The method of option thus seems to be combined use of tooth brush and interdental brush and rinses with mouthwashes containing active substances.
