- Abstract
The article focuses on a study to examine the impact of the Keyes procedure in vitro on microbial agents related to periodontal disease. Researchers assessed the effect of the chemical agents, hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate, on the microbial flora of the periodontal pocket. The microbial agents were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and grown in various media. Epithelial-like gingival cells were used to test the toxicity of the procedure on the microbial agents. The inhibitory concentrations of hydrogen peroxide for gingival cells seeded with mycoplasma salivarium were noted and it was concluded that the gingival cell viability varied with the number of cell layers.
