Clinical effect of chewing gum containing chlorhexidine nanoparticles on the dental plaque and gingivitis

클로르헥시딘 nanoparticle을 함유하는 chewing gum이 치태 및 치은염에 미치는 영향

Estimating by clinical index the efficacy of three cases, where chewing gum is mixed with nanoparticle containing chlorhexidine, where chewing gum doesn't contain neither of them, and where with chlorhexidine only, this study has come to the following conclusion. 1. The chewing gum with chlorhexidine and chlorhexidine nanoparticle has shown more reduction of plaque index and gingival index than that with no chlorhexidine. 2. There could be seen a difference between the gum with chlorhexidine and the gum with chlorhexidine nanoparticle. 3. The gum with chlorhexidine nanoparticle has shown less level of plaque index than that chlorhexidine, which difference was only slight. 4. The gum with chlorhexidine nanoparticle wasn't absorved any tooth coloring. To put these results together, it is proposed that mixing chewing gum with chlorhexidine nanoparticle can be an efficient application.
