In this context, study aimed evaluate activity chlorhexidine gluconate silver ATCC 10231 inoculated on...
Oral hygiene is necessary for maintaining human health, and regular brushing recommended to control oral microbial biofilm. Toothbrushes are manufactured free of microorganisms, but after the first use they become contaminated can represent a potential source cross-contamination. Regular replacement or decontamination toothbrushes recommended. In this context, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) technology based on production reactive oxygen species, when light-absorbing compounds...
