Table 2: Evaluation of filtered water, chlorhexidine digluconate 0.12% and ethanolic extract of propolis 6% in oral hygiene of patients admitted to the ICU.

Filtered water and mechanical reduction Chlorhexidine digluconate 0.12% Extract ethanolic of propolis to 6%
Results obtained Reduced salivary flow and dry lips. Reduced the isolation of yeasts, filamentous fungi and bacteria as a consequence of the mechanical activity of debris removal. Reduced salivary flow and dry lips. Inhibited yeast growth and reduced the isolation of filamentous fungi and bacteria in the 3 days of sanitization. Yeast isolates were sensitive to a concentration of 0.12%. It inhibited the production of proteinase and phospholipase exoenzymes and the production of fringes. Reduced salivary flow and dry lips. It inhibited the growth of yeasts, did not alter the isolation of filamentous fungi, and greatly reduced the isolation of bacteria. Yeast isolates were sensitive to a concentration of 20%. Inhibited 80.56% of the yeasts isolated to the concentration of 5%. It inhibited the production of proteinase and phospholipase exoenzymes and the production of fringes.
