Abstract
ALVAREZ-CHUPILLON, HA; PORTOCARRERO-MONDRAGON, JP and PARDO-ALDAVE, K. In vitro antifungal activity comparation of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 5,25% sodium hypochlorite against Candida albicans. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.2, pp.85-89. Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2340-3152. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852022000200007.
Background:
the presence of fungal species is evident in the dental root canal system.
Aim:
to compare the in vitro antifungal activity of two solutions against Candida albicans.
Methos:
In vitro experiment. 90 samples were isolated by swabbing the buccal mucosa from patients with subprosthetic stomatitis, distributed in two groups: 45 with 5.25% Na OCl discs and the other 45 with 2% CHX discs. Shapiro Wilk test, p> 0.05 and Levene test, p> 0.05. Student's t was used for comparison.
Results:
2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite antifungal activity with mean inhibition halos of 24.6 mm and 25.2 mm, respectively.
Conclusion:
There are no significant differences between the two agents studied.
Keywords : Candida albicans; Chlorhexidine; Sodium hypochlorite.
