Klimawandel und Gesundheit: Was Sie in der Hausarztpraxis wissen müssen und tun können

Die Folgen des Klimwandels haben einen direkten Einfluss auf die Primärversorgung in Deutschland: Hitzeschutz insbesondere bei älteren Patienten, die Zunahme von Infektionen und die Verlängerung der Allergiesesaison spielen medizinisch eine bedeutsame Rolle. Aber auch in der Prävention und der Aufklärung der Patienten kommt den Hausärztinnen und -ärzten eine besondere Rolle zu. Direkt aus der Praxis berichtet im Live-Webinar am 13. Mai von 18 bis 19 Uhr unser Experte Dr. med. Robin Maitra.

Abstract

Objectives

The aim of the present review was to analyze the impact of the hydrodynamic effects created by powered toothbrushes on biofilm removal in vitro.

Materials and methods

A MEDLINE search was performed for publications published by 20 May 2012; this search was complemented by a manual search. The study selection, data preparation, and validity assessment were conducted by two reviewers.

Results

Sixteen studies were included. The studies differed with respect to the methods of biofilm formation and brushing protocols. Eighteen different powered toothbrush models were evaluated. Toothbrushes with side-to-side action demonstrated biofilm removal without direct bristle contact to biofilms ranging from 38 to 99 %. Most studies found biofilm removal exceeding 50 %. Biofilm reduction using multidimensional toothbrushes was significantly lower than by those with the side-to-side mode. Detachment forces due to hydrodynamic phenomena, passing air–liquid interfaces, and acoustic energy transfer were suggested to cause reduction of the biofilm.

Conclusion

Noncontact biofilm reduction was obtained by the hydrodynamic effects of some powered toothbrushes in vitro.

Clinical relevance

Powered toothbrushes may have the potential to simplify self-performed oral hygiene. However, additional beneficial effects of higher amounts of noncontact biofilm removal in vitro have not been shown clinically, yet.
