Abstract

Background: Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) is commonly applied as positive control of new antimicrobials, because it is considered the gold-standard for chemical plaque control. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of treatments with curcumin-mediated aPDT and CHX in relation to the viability of specific microorganism groups in two distinct times (immediately and 24 h later). Methods: Dentin caries microcosms were grown on bovine dentin discs (37 degrees C, anaerobiosis) for 3 days in the Active Attachment Amsterdam Biofilm Model. The biofilms were treated with 300 mu M curcumin and 75 J.cm(-2) LED, or 0.06% and 0.12% CHX. Then, total microorganisms, total streptococci, mutans streptococci, and total lactobacilli counts were determined. The statistical analysis was conducted by Kruskal-Wallis and post-hoc Dunn's tests (P < 0.05). Results: Curcumin-mediated aPDT (C + L + ), 0.06% and 0.12% CHX reduced mutans streptococci counts (0.19, 0.10 and 0.07 log10 respectively) in the immediate analysis. After 24 h, it was observed a re-growth of microorganisms treated by curcumin-mediated aPDT, whereas both CHX concentrations demonstrated a decrease of the viable microorganisms. Conclusion: This study confirmed the substantive effect of CHX and the immediate effect of aPDT. The use of a neutralizer solution was important to block the substantivity of CHX and permit its fair comparison with aPDT, allowing its use as a positive control in further studies. (AU)
