At 60 seconds, 2xED95 dose (0.6mg/kg) of rocuronium is frequently used for intubation. Some studies suggest 3XED95 (0.9mg/kg body weight) dose in achieving excellent intubating conditions. In this context, present study aimed at comparing intubating conditions with these two doses of rocuronium, using clinical criteria by cooper's score; assisted with adductor pollicis T.O.F response. ⋯ 3xED95 dose of Rocuronium achieves more intense NMB and better conditions for intubation at 60 seconds than 2ED 95 dose.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an oxidizing agent with known bactericidal, viricidal and fungicidal properties. Its efficacy in reducing the halitosis has been established by previous literature. However, data evaluating its antiplaque property is scarce. Chlorhexidine (CHX) is considered as the gold standard and an effective adjunctive to mechanical plaque removal. However, it is associated with few reversible side effects. Therefore a study was conducted to assess the antiplaque property of ClO2 containing mouthrinse against CHX mouthrinse. ⋯ The clinical antiplaque efficacy of CHX and ClO2 mouthwash is comparable and so is the efficacy in reducing the oral bacterial load.
