6. Chemo theraputic agents Flashcards
What are the indications for locally derived anti microbials
- Unresponsive sites
- Pt cannot have complex surgery
- Localized diseased sites
What are the desirable traits for anti microbials
- Sustainable in the site
- Cost effective
- Low toxicity
- High potency
- Good permeability
What is the Keys technique
- SRP
- Homecare - baking soda, salt, H202
- Oral tetracyclines - in the presence of Spirochaetes
How effective is the Keys technique
As effective as conventional therapy
Now discredited
What is the Rosen protocol
50/50 mix of H202 and water
Brush after treatment
What is Chlorohexidine
Cationic Bisbiguanide - binds to the protein in the pellicle
How does Chlorohexidine work
Ruptures cell membrance
What is the advantage of Chlorohexidine
- High substantivity
- 50% decrease in plaque
- 45% decrease in gingivitis
- Released over 6 hours
What are the side effects of Chlorohexidine
What do you need to warn the patient about
- Increased calculus formation
- Chlorohexidine Staining
- Alteration in taste
What are the different concentrations of Chlorohexidine
USA - 0.12%
Europe - 0.2%
How should patients use Chlorohexidine
15ml bid
When should we use Chlorohexidine
Before surgery- Reduced pre trt bacterial load by 97%
What effect do the essential oils in Listerine do to reduce gingival inflammation
Reduce inflammation by 34%
Affects cell wall
What is Povidone Iodine
Any Issues with it
- Elemental Iodine with Polyvinyl Pyrolidone
- Broad Spectrum
- Can stain
- Combined with H202 to max effectiveness
When use Povidone Iodine
NUG in HIV pt
Concerns with Povidone Iodine
- Stain with chronic use
- Toxic with chronic use
- not for ladies breast feeding
- look out for ppl with Shell fish allergies
What are quaternary ammonia compounds
Cepacol - Cetylpyridium Chloride
How do quaternary ammonia compounds function
Ruptures cell wall
Not as effective as Listerine
What are the problems with quaternary ammonia compounds
Low substantivity due to low binding
What is Sanquinairine used for
- Herbal alkaloid from blood root plant
- May reduce plaque and gingivitis
Why do we not use Sodium Hypo
- Bad odor and taste
- Corrosive
- Better products available
Is Sodium Hypo effective
Yes

How does Triclosan function
- Reduces gingivitis by 20%
- Reduce plaque by 25%
- Reduce bacterial adhesion
How effective are local agents
- 2 mm in 30-40% of sites
- range 0.95 - 1.90 mm
- Hard to know which patients it works in
- Benefits modest
What is Actisite
- 25% Tetracycline
- Place 1 mm subging seal with cyanoacrylate
Not available anymore
How does Actisite work
- Reduced PD
- Reduces BOP
- Reduces perio pathogens
- reduces CAL
What is Periochip
Chlorohex in a hydrolyzed gel
How is Periochip used
Chip put in pocket after initial treatment
When used with SRP improves PD and CAL
