Objective: To evaluate alternative methods for disinfection of toothbrushes such as sodium hypochlorite 5.25% Clorox®, hydrogen peroxide 4% JGB® and 5% acetic acid La Constancia®.Methods: An experimental In vitro assay was done. The microorganisms were isolated from 19 brand new toothbrushes (Twister Fresh Colgate®) that were used for the first time for the same number of subjects. Samples taken were placed in plate’s agars. The microorganisms selected were Candida albicans, Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175). The antimicrobial activity of each disinfectant solution was evaluated at different times by the direct contact method, as growth control was used sterile saline 0.85%. The results were expressed as positive or negative growth. Means, modes, medians and standard deviation were determined for all data. Student’s t test and Chi2 performed bivariate analyses. For all tests, p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: All the solutions were effective in inhibiting microorganism’s growth of Candida albicans, Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175) after 10, 20 and 30 minutes of direct contact.Conclusions: Solutions commonly used as disinfectants at home were effective in removing microorganisms isolated from toothbrushes. |
