Abstract

Dental caries is considered a public health problem, children being the most vulnerable population due to inadequate eating habits and oral hygiene. Objective: To determine and compare the antibacterial effect of pediatric mouthwashes based on Cetilpiridinium Chloride (0.075%) and Xylitol (10%), on strains of Streptococcus Mutans. Materials and Methods: In vitro experimental study, consisting of 20 strains of S. mutans obtained from the repository of the National Institute of Public Health Research (INSPI), which were planted in agar trypticase soy agar. The 60 Petri dishes (N = 60) were divided into three experimental groups (N = 20 each) of 10 mL, 15mL and 20mL for each mouthwash, in each petri dishes were placed 5 paper discs impregnated with the solution of the groups being: G1= Colgate Plax (Cetylpyridinium Chloride 0.075%), G2= Denture kids (Xylitol 10%), G3= Blendy (Xylitol 10%) C+= Positive Control (Chlorhexidine 0.12%) C-= Negative Control (Distilled Water). Petri dishes were incubated at 37° C with low oxygen pressure. After 48 hours they were observed to measure the inhibition zones. The statistical analysis of Kruskal Wallis and U Mann Whitney with a level of significance of 5% was carried out. Results: The amounts of 10, 15 and 20mL of Cetilpiridinium Chloride showed a significant increase of halo > 14mm (p = 0.001) highly sensitive. The rinses with Xylitol showed a lower inhibition halo ≥ 8mm (p = 0.1) intermediate sensitivity. The amount of 20mL of cetylpyridinium chloride did not show significant differences when compared to 15mL of Chlorhexidine (p = 1.0). Conclusions: Mouthwashes based on Xylitol showed intermediate sensitivity, its effect being lower when compared to the Cetylpyridinium chloride that was highly sensitive.
