| description | Chlorhexidine and fluor are treatment which have been used to prevent dental plaque formation and, subsequently, dental cavities. The objective of this study was to identify the effectivity of chlorhexidine in varnish to prevent dental plaque formation. A quantitative test was carried out, comparative-descriptive, transversal and observational. The sample observed was integrated by 13 children from 6 to 10 years old, to whom, a questionnaire about fermentable carbohydrates consumption was applied; they were identified to have dental plaque, registering it through the O’Leary index. Later, they were divided into two groups, the first group was applied fluor varnish at 0.1%, and the second group was applied chlorhexidine varnish at 1% with Thymol at 1% as a homogenous mixture. Four weeks later, second dental plaque identification was executed and registered in the same initial way. The data was analyzed stablishing an average, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results obtained indicate that there is a weak negative correlation (-0.13) between the O’Leary index and fermentable carbohydrates consumption, a weak negative correlation (-0.065) when correlating the O’Leary index obtained after fluor application and fermentable carbohydrate consumption; as well as a weak positive correlation (0.084) when correlating the O’Leary index obtained after chlorhexidine application and fermentable carbohydrate consumption. It is concluded that, in order to determine the effectiveness of this drug, it is necessary to augment the sample size, and deeper studies must be done having into consideration other factors not analyzed in this investigation since, apparently, chlorhexidine usage is not enough to impact positively on the presence of dental plaque and caries. |

La clorhexidina y el flúor son fármacos que se han empleado para la prevención de formación de placa dentobacteriana y de la subsecuente caries dental. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la efectividad de la clorhexidina en barniz para la prevención de formación de placa dentobacteriana. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, comparativo-descriptivo, transversal y observacional. La población estudiada se conformó por 13 niños de entre 6 y 8 años de edad, a los cuales se les aplicó un cuestionario sobre hábitos de consumo de carbohidratos fermentables; después se identificó la presencia de placa dentobacteriana, registrándola mediante el índice de O´Leary. Posteriormente fueron divididos en dos grupos: Al grupo 1 se le aplicó barniz de flúor al 0.1%, y al grupo 2 se le aplicó barniz de clorhexidina al 1% con Timol al 1% en mezcla homogénea. Cuatro semanas después se realizó una segunda identificación de placa dentobacteriana, registrándola igual que la manera inicial. Se analizaron los datos estableciendo promedio, desviación estándar y coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados obtenidos indican que existe una correlación negativa débil (-0.13) entre el índice de O´Leary y el consumo de carbohidratos fermentables, una correlación negativa débil (-0.065) al correlacionar el índice de O´Leary obtenido posterior a la aplicación de flúor y el consumo de carbohidratos fermentables; así como una correlación positiva débil (0.084) al correlacionar el índice de O´Leary obtenido posterior a la aplicación de clorhexidina y el consumo de carbohidratos fermentables. Se concluye que para poder determinar la efectividad del fármaco es necesario aumentar el tamaño de muestra, y que se deben realizar estudios a mayor profundidad que consideren la interacción de otros factores no analizados en esta investigación, ya que en apariencia el uso de clorhexidina no es suficiente para impactar positivamente en la presencia de placadentobacteriana y caries dental.
