{Solumium chlorine dioxide}

This series of papers consisting of three communications describes the properties and applications of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) with a special emphasis on its hyper-pure aqueous solution available commercially in Hungary under the trade name SOLUMIUM DENTAL since the end of 2008. This first part of the series discusses the history of chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant, its properties and its fields of applications. It is also explained why chlorine dioxide is regarded as an ideal biocide and why its medical applications were delayed until now in spite of its advantageous properties as a biocide. The history of chlorine dioxide ClO2 and its fields of application Chlorine dioxide is a greenish yellow gas, easily soluble in water and aqueous solutions. It had been known for long. It was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy in 1811, however it became well known in the XX century only. The largest quantities are used in the paper industry for whitening cellulose. In this application it replaced chlorine because the latter produces dioxin which is carcinogenic. Its second most important field of application is the disinfection of municipal water. For this purpose it was first used in the small town of Niagara Falls next to the Niagara Water Falls in 1944 substituting chlorine. Chlorine dioxide has many favourable properties compared to chlorine. Its disinfectant effect exceeds that of chlorine, moreover it does not chlorinate organic compounds. In Niagara Falls the water was contaminated with phenol, which caused the problems, because chlorine transformed phenol into chlorophenol, which gave the water a really bad taste. What is more, during the chlorination of water so-called trihalo methanes (THM) are formed, which are carcinogenic. It is therefore advisable to change over from the cheaper chlorine to the more expensive but healthier chlorine dioxide where the water contains a higher amount of organic materials. This had been done first in 1956 in Bruxelles among the big cities. Application of ClO2 in the food industry, oral hygiene and dentistry Recently chlorine dioxide solutions were introduced for other purposes, like in the United States for washing fruits and meats. Besides disinfection chlorine dioxide can be used also for deodorizing, for mouthwash, and for other purposes. Chlorine dioxide not only kills all the bacteria responsible for bad breath but directly reacts with the sulphur containing compounds (like sulphurhydrogen, methyl-mercaptan and dimethyl-sulphide) causing the bad breath, and this way successfully stops halitosis as demonstrated by a very thorough Japanese study [1]. The same paper emphasizes two important advantages of mouthwashes made with chlorine dioxide compared to those containing chlorohexidine: the former does not discolour the teeth and tongue and even its continuous use does not produce unwanted side effects. The wide spread of these mouthwashes has been hindered as besides chlorine dioxide they also contained other chemicals which unfavourably affect on one side the quality and on the other side the long term stability of these mouthwashes. To avoid problems caused by the instability chlorine dioxide can be prepared on the spot by mixing the necessary chemicals. This procedure is used e.g. by the DioxiCare [2] system of the Frontier Pharmaceutical firm in New York, which is recommended also for stopping toothache. The local production of chlorine dioxide solves only the problem of durability, however, the chemicals needed for the ClO2 production still stay in the mixture.

"more recent evaluations in animals and humans demonstrate that exposure to low concentrations of ASC or ClO2 (≤0.2% and 0.02%, [2000 ppm ASC and 200 ppm ClO2] respectively) such as those found to be effective in human mouth rinse studies are well tolerated" "Snoot™ (Sinox Pharma, Inc.) at the ‘Original’ strength. This formulation yields between 60 parts per million (ppm) and 75 ppm (~0.01% wt/vol) ClO2 over the course of 12 hours" "DioxiRinse™ (Frontier Pharmaceutical, Inc.) to be used at the ‘Standard Strength’ yielding a concentration of ~40 ppm (0.006% wt/vol) ClO2." "immediate cleansing using both products is suggested, even if the recommended maximum use of 4 times in a 12-hour period is exceeded. However, 6 administrations in a 24-hour period are strongly discouraged."

"This in vitro study evaluated the effectiveness of a novel dentifrice containing stabilized chlorine dioxide, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (sarkosyl), and sodium fluoride in enhancing enamel fluoride uptake, remineralization, pellicle cleaning and inhibiting biofilm regrowth."

"Tooth and spa decay are caused by bacteria and improper PH. To prevent both, oxidizers can be used, along with physical cleaning. Plaque on teeth is a biofilm, the same as one finds in a poorly maintained spa. If we could keep our mouths bacteria-free, we could avoid having plaque(biofilm) build up on our teeth" "oxidizer is needed. Without it, we get plaque buildup that has to be physically removed by a dentist every six months, and causes damage to teeth during that time as bacteria produce acidic waste under the biofilm. I'm not sure why oral oxidizer use is not more widely promoted by the ADA; as it stands now, the recommendations are similar to your spa guy telling you to clean the tub with a brush and soap, and call him every six months to come out and scrape the crusty bacterial growth off"

Disinfection and sterilization are needed for guaranteeing that medical and surgical instruments do not spread contagious microorganisms to patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a simple manual technique of high-level disinfection (HLD) of flexible fiberoptic nasofibroscopes (FFNs) with wipes impregnated with a chlorine dioxide solution (Tristel Trio Wipes System—TTW) against a conventional automated washer machine (Soluscope ENT, Cimrex 12—AW). FFNs used in 62 patients undergoing endoscopy at an ENT clinic were sampled according to an aseptic procedure. For each nasoendoscopy, microbiological samples were taken at two times: (1) after a patient’s nasoendoscopy and (2) immediately after high-level disinfection. Ten microliters of each prepared sample were inoculated onto specific culture media for the detection of nasopharyngeal flora microorganisms. The microbiological results obtained from 62 post-disinfection samples revealed bacterial growth on two FFNs disinfected with AW, and five FFNs disinfected with TTW, but this difference is not statistically significant. None of the isolates were pathogenic bacteria. Our results are different than the results obtained by two previously published studies on the TTW system. In both studies, sampling was carried out by swabbing the tip and the handle surface of FFNs. This sampling method was the least effective method means of detecting bacteria on a surface. It can be concluded that the two disinfection systems allow providers to obtain a reduction of the saprophytic and pathogenic microbial load.
