Abstract(s)
O biofilme oral é o fator etiológico mais comum de patologias como a cárie, gengivite e periodontite, o qual pode comprender cerca de 700 espécies bacterianas. Várias estratégias são utilizadas para reduzir ou eliminar o biofilme oral. A remoção mecânica do biofilme oral através da escovagem e uso de fita dental é indispensável no controlo eficiente do biofilme para manutenção da saúde oral. Os elixires orais são agentes químicos utilizados como adjuvantes com o objetivo de redução na formação do biofilme oral, tratamento da gengivite e periodontite.
O presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo uma revisão bibliográfica atual sobre o efeito de algumas composições de elixires orais no microbioma oral. Neste contexto, pretende-se auxiliar os médicos dentistas na escolha do mais apropriado elixir oral utilizado como adjuvante, aos seus pacientes. Os agentes químicos abordados nesta revisão bibliográfica foram: clorexidina, óleos essenciais e triclosan, com a presença ou não de álcool.
Os elixires orais com os agentes químicos abordados neste estudo, apresentaram comprovação científica para redução do biofilme oral, gengivite e problemas de halitose quando comparados com controlos negativos. A clorexidina parece ser a melhor escolha, mesmo apresentando algumas desvantagens.

The mechanical removal of dental plaque is indispensable for maintenance of oral health. Mouthwashes are the chemical agents used as adjuvants for the purpose of reducing oral biofilm and treating gingivitis and periodontitis. The aim of the present study is a bibliographic review on the effect of some compositions of mouthwashes in oral microbioma. In this context, it is intended to assist dentists in choosing the most appropriate mouthwash, used as an adjuvant, to their patients. The chemical agents discussed in this literature review were: chlorhexidine, essential oils and triclosan, with or without alcohol. The mouthwashes with the chemical agents approached presented scientific evidence for oral biofilm reduction, gingivitis and halitosis problems when compared to negative controls. Chlorhexidine seems to be the best choice, even though it has some disadvantages.
