本研究では,総義歯におけるバイオフィルムの定量化のための4つの方法(コンピュータ法,ペーパーウェイト法,ポイントカウンティング法,プラニメトリック法)の適用性と信頼性を比較し,それぞれの相関性を検証した.62個の総義歯の内面を染色(5%エリスロシン)し,写真撮影を行った.そのスライドを紙面に投影し,鉛筆で面積(全体およびバイオフィルム被覆面積)の輪郭を描いた.これらの面積は,等距離点グリッド法(点数法),デジタル平板計(平板法),および紙の秤量法では,精密秤で切断して秤量した.コンピュータによる方法では、ImageTool ソフトウェアを使用した。これらの方法の検証テストを行うために、すべての方法を寸法が既知の幾何学的図形のスライド投影に適用した。相関テストの結果,各手法とも高い相関値(r = 0.82〜0.99)を示した.検証試験(ANOVA)では,4つの定量的手法すべてを用いて図形を測定して得られた値と,これらの幾何学図形の実寸法の間に統計的に有意な差は見られなかった.定量的方法は,総義歯のバイオフィルム量の測定に効率的で信頼性が高く,衛生用品の有効性に関する実験的研究に有用であると考えられた.また,コンピュータを用いた方法は,迅速かつ簡便であった.
This study compared the application and reliability of 4 methods for biofilm quantification (computerized, paper-weighing, point-counting, and planimetric) in complete dentures, verifying the correlation between them. The internal surfaces of 62 complete dentures were stained (5% erythrosine) and photographed. The slides were projected on paper, and the areas (total and biofilm-covered) were outlined with a pencil. These areas were measured with an equidistant point grid (point-counting method), a digital planimeter (planimetric method), and for the paper weighing method they were cut and weighed with a precision scale. For the computerized method, ImageTool software was used. In order to perform a validation test of the methods, all of them were applied to slide projections of geometric figures with known dimensions. The correlation tests showed high correlation values (r = 0.82 to 0.99) among the methods. The validation test (ANOVA) showed no statistically significant differences among the values obtained from the measurement of figures using all four quantitative methods and the real dimensions of these geometric figures. Quantitative methods were efficient and reliable for measuring quantity of biofilm in complete dentures, and may be useful in experimental studies on the efficacy of hygiene products. The computerized method was fast and easy to perform.
