Objective. To compare the antimicrobial effect of 2% tetracycline gel and 0,12% chlorhexidine gel on the dental biofilm of healing abutments on dental implants. Methods. This was an in vitro experimental cross-sectional study. Twenty-five biofilm samples were taken from the dental biofilm present on the area in contact with mucosa and the peri-implant groove of healing abutments of 19 patients. The samples were sowed in Petri dishes with Schaedler agar, three wells were made with a sterile punch and in each one tetracycline 2% in gel, 0,12% chlorhexidine in gel, and distilled water were placed in equal quantities. Then Petri dishes were incubated at 37 °C in an anaerobic medium for 48 hours after which inhibition halos were measured. Results. Both gels were inhibitors of dental biofilm growth. Tetracycline 2% in gel obtained larger diameters of inhibition halos than chlorhexidine 0,12% ...

Evalúa el efecto antimicrobiano de la tetraciclina en gel al 2 % y clorhexidina en gel al 0,12 % sobre el biofilm tomado de pilares de cicatrización de implantes dentales. El estudio es analítico experimental in vitro, transversal. Se recolectaron 19 muestras de biofilm localizados en los pilares de cicatrización en implantes dentales. Las muestras se tomaron con un microbrush estéril, a partir del pilar de cicatrización de la zona en contacto con el surco periimplantario, posteriormente en las placas Petri se procedió a sembrar con agar Schaedler, donde se realizó 3 pocillos con sacabocado estéril. En cada uno de los pocillos, se aplicó tetraciclina en gel al 2 %, clorhexidina en gel al 0,12 % y agua destilada respectivamente, en cantidades iguales. Las placas Petri se incubaron a 37°C en un medio anaerobio durante 96 horas, después se procedió a medir los halos de inhibici...

Dentro de la clasificación de las enfermedades periodontales actual existe dentro de malformaciones y deformidades mucogingivales la recesión gingival, que se define como la migración apical del margen gingival en relación con la unión cemento esmalte exponiendo la superficie radicular, puede estar asociado a sensibilidad dentaria, retención de placa y molestias estéticas, pueden afectar a una o varias piezas dentales siendo el manejo quirúrgico más complejo cuando se trata de piezas múltiples adyacentes y cuando hay factores anatómicos asociados como falta de encía queratinizada o inserciones musculares. En la literatura periodontal hay escasos reportes este tipo de caso específico. En el presente trabajo se describe el tratamiento de cobertura radicular para recesiones múltiples en piezas postero inferiores, causado por un tratamiento de ortodoncia, utilizando la técnica...
