El objetivo de este estudio fue demostrar la efectividad antibacteriana in vitro del extracto de croton lechleri al 100% frente a la clorhexidina al 0.12% en el tratamiento de la alveolitis dental. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Ochenta pacientes de ambos géneros que presentaron como diagnóstico alveolitis dental, conformaron la muestra los cuales fueron llevados al laboratorio para su procesamiento, cumpliendo con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Este fue un estudio cuantitativo transversal de diseño experimental, para comparar el efecto antibacteriano del crotón Lechleri (sangre de grado) al 100% y la clorhexidina al 0,12%. La Clorhexidina y el Crotón Lechleri fueron obtenidos de los envasados comercialmente, registrados y autorizados por DIGESA (Dirección general de salud ambiental) y de la Casa comercial Santa Natura; luego se procedió a la recolección de la muestra coagulo ...

Objective. To determine the antimycotic and antibacterial effect of Psidium guajavaL., at 50% and 90% on Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. Methods. In vitro experimental study where 32 units of analysis were included (Petri dishes with strains of Candida albicans or Streptococcus mutans of which 16 samples corresponded to the four study groups of the Candida albicansstrain and 16 samples for the four groups of the strains of Streptococcus mutans, the positive control group (2% Chlorhexidine or Nystatin 100,000 IU) and the negative control group (distilled water). Antifungal and antibacterial effect was determined by quantifying the diameter of inhibition halo. For analysis of the data, Tukey test was used in ANOVA. Results.Psidium guajavaL. 90% had a greater diameter of formation of the halo of mean inhibition 14.40 ± 2.06 mm compared to Streptococcus mutans and a mean of 13.50...

Objective. To evaluate the effect of Heliocarpus americanus (Palo de Goma) as an adhesive for prosthetics. Methods. Experimental, prospective, cross-sectional study. Sample size was calculated by the proportions comparison formula for independent groups, 32 subjects being included in two groups of: 16 patients for the experimental group (EG) "palo de goma" (Heliocarpus americanus), and 16 patients for the control group (CG) "Corega adhesive cream". To evaluate the effect of the adhesive, the taxonomic classification of the bark, phytochemical analysis, and infrared spectrophotometry were first carried out at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, as well as the elaboration of the adhesive gel. Eight hours after the application of the adhesive gel, the stability and retention were measured using the Woelfel method, as well as the degree of acceptability according to the Hedonic scale. ...
