Comparación de la actividad antifúngica in vitro del gluconato de clorhexidina 2% e hipoclorito de sodio 5,25% contra Candida albicans

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: the presence of fungal species is evident in the dental root canal system. Aim: to compare the in vitro antifungal activity of two solutions against Candida albicans. Methos: In vitro experiment. 90 samples were isolated by swabbing the buccal mucosa from patients with subprosthetic stomatitis, distributed in two groups: 45 with 5.25% Na OCl discs and the other 45 with 2% CHX discs. Shapiro Wilk test, p> 0.05 and Levene test, p> 0.05. Student's t was used for comparison. Results: 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite antifungal activity with mean inhibition halos of 24.6 mm and 25.2 mm, respectively. Conclusion: There are no significant differences between the two agents studied.
