Study of the antibacterial efficacy of an antiseptic drug activated by low-frequency and high-frequency ultrasound in an experiment

Abstract

The aim of the work was an experimental study of the effectiveness of activation of an antiseptic drug, using low-frequency and high-frequency ultrasound, against pathogenic microorganisms obtained from periodontal pockets. As a result of automatic cultivation of clinical strains: S. sanguis, P. intermedia, C. albicans, revealed more pronounced antimicrobial effect of Miramistin activated by low-frequency ultrasound (26.5 kHz) compared with the activation of this drug by high-frequency ultrasound (880 kHz). In the treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases, in order to obtain a pronounced antimicrobial effect, preference should be given to the combined effects of low-frequency ultrasound and the antiseptic drug Miramistin 0.01%.
