  • ORIGINAL ARTICLE Oral health education for diabetic patients with gingivitis: Controlled before and after trial
    2016
    Co-Authors: Azza Fathi Ibrahim, Faiza Mohammed Tawfik, Ayman Khamees Matter
    Abstract:

    Health education is considered the backbone of health care management predominantly with diabetic patients. In order to minimize oral health problems within this group, especially those complaining of gingivitis, nurses must be well trained in assessing the educational needs of patients regarding their oral health status. Health education about oral hygiene with pharmacological and non pharmacological Agents or herbal products is considered a total management in several cases. Green tea has several benefits for oral health. It limits enzymatic changes and acts as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and Deodorant Agent. As an herbal product, green tea is accessible, effective and safe for diabetics with gingivitis. This is a quasi-experimental study aimed at determining the effect of health education about oral care with green tea powder on diabetics ’ oral health knowledge, skills and gingivitis ’ status. The study was conducted at the three medical sections of Gamal Abd El Nasser Hospital in Alexandria, Egypt. The sample was comprised of sixty adult diabetics who were selected by convenient sampling technique according to specific inclusion criteria. Patients were randomly divided into study and control groups, thirty in each. The Oral Health Education Assessment Questionnaire (OHEAQ) was used to determine the knowledge and skills of adult diabetics regarding oral health care and associated green tea benefits. The Gingival Evaluation Interview Sheet (GEIS) was used to assess gingivitis severity and its manifestations. Results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups after the first and second assessments of educational intervention with green tea powder, in relation to perceived oral health car

Results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups after the first and second assessments of educational intervention with green tea powder, in relation to perceived oral health care knowledge and practices with green tea, gingival inflammation severity scores, and gingivitis manifestation scores. All of these variables were improved in favor of the study group. In conclusion, oral health education with herbs and particularly green tea is an admirable nursing intervention to improve patients’ oral health literacy and oral self-care practices for adult diabetic patients with gingivitis.

  • The Influence of Various Silicones on the Rheological Parameters of AZG Containing Silicone-Based Gels
    2005
    Co-Authors: Seyed Alireza Mortazavi, Hosseinali Tab
    Abstract:

    Aluminium zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine (AZG) is a popular antiperspirant/ Deodorant Agent, formulated in various forms including the clear gels. Silicones are used for the preparation of these gels, giving them desirable characteristics. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various silicones, when used in combination, on the rheological properties of the resulting AZG gels prepared. Based on preliminary studies, various AZG containing silicone-based gel formulations were prepared. Silicones used (as ternary mixtures) included ABIL ® EM 97, ABIL ® 8839 and ABIL ® 8852. Formulations prepared were then examined rheologically and their plastic viscosity and yield values determined. Results showed that the amount of ABIL ® EM 97 (used as an emulsifier) present within the gel formulation is critical. An increase in the amount of this silicone, corresponding to a small decrease in the amount of the hydrophobic structure building (gelling Agent) ABIL ® B8839, increased the plastic viscosity and yield values of the gel. On the other hand, an excess amount of ABIL® B8852, as a hydrophilic co-surfactant, reduced the viscosity and yield values of the resulting gel. Eventually, among the formulations prepared, formulation F5 with suitable aesthetic an

Results showed that the amount of ABIL ® EM 97 (used as an emulsifier) present within the gel formulation is critical. An increase in the amount of this silicone, corresponding to a small decrease in the amount of the hydrophobic structure building (gelling Agent) ABIL ® B8839, increased the plastic viscosity and yield values of the gel. On the other hand, an excess amount of ABIL ® B8852, as a hydrophilic co-surfactant, reduced the viscosity and yield values of the resulting gel. Eventually, among the formulations prepared, formulation F5 with suitable aesthetic and skin feel properties, spreadability and rheological behaviors, was selected for further studies. By constructing the up-curve and down-curve of this formulation, presence of a plastic thixotropic behavior was confirmed. Inclusion of various amounts of the hydrophobic siliconebased Agent, dimethicone, within formulation F5 showed that by increasing the amount of dimethicone present, the plastic viscosity and yield values of the gel would be reduced. This reduction was significant at dimethicone concentrations above 0.5%. Furthermore, by increasing the amount of dimethicone present, the calculated "percentage of reduction in plastic viscosity" also increased. This means that the extent of thixotropicity of the gel formulation increases by the addition of dimethicone. This finding was also backed up by the resulting rheograms constructed. Overall, addition of 0.75% dimethicone produced the most acceptable product in terms of an appropriate viscosity, yield value and extent of thixotropicity. In conclusion, this study shows that in-depth rheological assessment of AZG gels prepared from silicones could be used as an important tool during their formulation and characterization in order to obtain an effective formulation with desirable properties.
