Candida spp. em escovas dentais e eficácia de antimicrobianos na sua desinfecção

Abstract in Portuguese
Os objetivos foram avaliar a presença de Candida spp. em escovas dentais; a eficácia do Periogard® e do Neem Sattiva®, em spray, na desinfecção destas escovas; a atividade antimicrobiana, in vitro, do Neem Sattiva®, do Periogard® e da solução de gluconato de clorexidina a 0,5% por meio da Diluição Inibitória Máxima (DIMax); e a capacidade de Candida spp. formar biofilme, in vitro, sobre as cerdas e hastilhas de escovas dentais (empregando a técnica de cultura microbiana e a microscopia eletrônica de varredura). Participaram do estudo clínico randomizado 61 estudantes de Odontologia da FORP USP. O estudo foi realizado em três etapas. Em cada etapa, os voluntários receberam escovas novas e realizaram a escovação dentária sem dentifrício, por dois minutos. Cada solução foi borrifada sobre as cerdas das escovas por seis vezes. Após quatro horas à temperatura ambiente, as escovas foram submetidas ao processamento microbiológico para o isolamento e identificação das espécies de Candida. A DIMax dos antissépticos foi realizada utilizando o método da diluição em ágar. As escovas dentais de 37,3% dos indivíduos estavam contaminadas por Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. parapsilosis e Candida sp.). O Periogard® e o Neem Sattiva®, em spray, inibiram o crescimento de Candida spp. em 40,9 e 9,1% das escovas, respectivamente. Portanto, o spray de Periogard® foi mais eficaz que o spray de Neem Sattiva® para esse propósito. As DIMaxs do Neem Sattiva®, do Periogard® e da solução de clorexidina a 0,5% frente a 63 cepas de Candida spp. foram 1/10, 1/20 e 1/40, respectivamente. Candida spp. foram capazes de formar biofilme, in vitro, sobre hastilhas (polietileno de baixa densidade) de escovas dentais. O mesmo não ocorreu nas cerdas de náilon.

Abstract in English
The purposes were to evaluate the presence of Candida spp. on toothbrushes; the efficacy of Periogard® and Neem Sattiva®, in spray, in the disinfection of these toothbrushes; the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Neem Sattiva®, Periogard® and solution containing 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate by the Maximum Inhibitory Dilution (MID); and the ability of Candida spp. to form biofilm in vitro on the bristles and small sticks of toothbrushes (using the microbial culture technique and scanning electron microscopy). In the randomized clinical study participated 61 students matriculated at the Dentistry course of the FORP USP. The study was performed into three phases. In each phase, volunteers received new toothbrushes and performed toothbrushing with no dentifrice, during two minutes. Each solution was sprayed six times on the toothbrush bristles. After four hours at room temperature, toothbrushes were submitted to microbiological processing for the isolation and identification of Candida species. MID of antiseptics was performed using the agar dilution method. Toothbrushes used by 37.3% of subjects were contaminated by Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. parapsilosis and Candida sp.). Periogard® and Neem Sattiva®, in spray, inhibited growth of Candida spp. in 40.9 and 9.1% of toothbrushes, respectively. Therefore, Periogard® spray was more efficacious than Neem Sattiva® spray for this purpose. MID of Neem Sattiva®, Periogard® and solution containing 0.5% chlorhexidine against 63 Candida spp. strains were 1/10, 1/20 and 1/40, respectively. Candida spp. were able to form biofilm in vitro on the toothbrush small sticks (low-density polyethylene). This did not occur on the nylon bristles.
