Limpieza bucodental mediante técnicas de adsorción con material desechable. Nueva alternativa de higiene oral

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show different materials to make oral cleaning, with high adsorption power, nontoxic and disposable (throwaway) which chewed in the mouth allow drag plaque. Material and Methods: valid information has been selected for study in the Medline data base, internet network and bibliography own files. Results: Among the materials are found sepiolites, zeolites, agars, activated carbon, polymers Family gums and gum arabic, silicones, kaolin, tea leaves, tyre ashes and waste of chemically modified plants. Discussion: Sepiolites and zeolites could be incorporated into gums —gum type— to be chewed and then discarded. Family polymers agars and gums may be applied onto the tooth surface, so that upon removal of dental plaque drag. Conclusions: We propose a new alternative to brushing, using disposables high adsorption, although it is still under study and applicability in stomatology.
