Abstract

Introduction: Patients who receive periodontal treatment have a significant amount of bacterial plaque which adheres to the tooth surface, so the prevention of periodontal disease is based on plaque reduction. The use of an antimicrobial agent complements the control of bacterial plaque in a continuous and effective way. Objective: To determine the efficacy between essential oil mouthwashes vs cetilpirimidino chloride mouthwashes in the control of bacterial plaque in periodontal clinic UCSG semester B2017. Materials and Methods: A comparative and longitudinal study was carried out in the periodontal clinic two and three UCSG, where 71 patients undergoing periodontal treatment were examined, the first group of essential oils were separated into two groups, which were formed by the patients of the periodontics clinic two and the second group of cetilpiridino composed of patients of the periodontics clinic three. Result: Between week one and six the group of mouthwashes of essential oils presented a greater decrease in the index of plaque beginning with 36 patients (50.70%) with a plaque index> 30%, and during the sixth week I present 30 patients (42.25%) with a plaque index of between 0-30%. This gives a better result compared to cetylpyridine. Conclusion: No significant difference was observed between the use of essential oil mouthwashes and cetylpyridine chloride in the control of bacterial plaque. So it is recommended the use of these mouthwash for the daily use of the plate control
