Abstract

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a chronic, infectious disease affecting young children. Though several preventive methods/measures are, the awareness about the benefits of a Ayurvedic preparation and its limited side effects is high. Thus, aim of this study was to compare efficacy of Ayurvedic formulations in reduction of the micro-organism causing ECC.

Method: In a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled trial 60 children between 6 and 71 months age with ECC were divided into group I (n=20, control group), group II (n=20, Acacia catechu group) and group III (n=20, HiOra group). Unstimulated saliva was collected pre and after 16th day post mouthrinse. The baseline microbiological colony count was performed for Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp. The results obtained were statistically analysed using non parametric test.

Results: There was significant reduction in the amount of colony-forming units (cfu) between the control and the treatment groups. In the HiOra group the reduction of cfu was tendentially greater (p>0.05) than in the Acacia catechu group. In the HiOra group only significant reduction of Streptococcus (S.) mutans was seen, whereas in the Acacia catechu group significant reduction of S. mutans and Lactobacillus spp. was seen.

Conclusion: Reduction in total microorganisms was less significant among the experimental groups. However the reduction in total colony count was greater in HiOra followed by Acacia catechu and the control group showed lesser reduction value.

儿茶口服液与HiOra草药口服液抑菌效果的比较及其对儿童早期龋齿变形链球菌和乳杆菌数量的影响。
背景:幼儿龋病是一种影响幼儿的慢性感染性疾病。虽然有几种预防方法/措施,但人们对阿育吠陀制剂的好处及其有限的副作用的认识很高。因此,本研究的目的是比较阿育吠陀配方在减少引起ECC的微生物方面的功效。方法:采用双盲、随机、安慰剂对照试验,将60例6 ~ 71月龄的ECC患儿分为I组(n=20,对照组)、II组(n=20,儿茶相思组)和III组(n=20, HiOra组)。在漱口后第16天前后收集未受刺激的唾液。对变形链球菌和乳酸杆菌进行基线微生物菌落计数,结果采用非参数检验进行统计学分析。结果:对照组和治疗组之间菌落形成单位(cfu)数量显著减少。HiOra组cfu的降低幅度明显大于儿茶组(p < 0.05)。在HiOra组中,仅观察到变形链球菌(S.)的显著减少,而在儿茶相思组中,观察到变形链球菌和乳杆菌的显著减少。结论:各试验组微生物总数减少不显著。然而,总菌落计数的减少量在儿茶次之,而对照组的减少量较小。
