OCT had a significantly greater inhibitory effect on the studied bacteria than 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) and 7.5% polyvinylpyrrolidone–iodine complex (PVP–I) from 15 min to 120 min following the application ( p < 0.01). The antiseptic efficacy of 0.2% CHX on total bacteria and ...
creates bacterial resistance to it quickly, and simply allows bacteria that are less resistant to take over the mouth(4)Fortunately, chlorhexidine stains the teeth and tastes so bad that it’s unlikely to be abused as a mouthwash
Among the available antimicrobial agents, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is considered effective for reducing oral biofilms, as well as for preventing and treating gingival inflammation10. However, CHX mouth-rinse has many side effects, including staining of the teeth, tongue, and restorations, as well...
There are now quite a few commercially available chlorhexidine mouthwashes in the UK and the rest of Europe. Those in the UK, such as Corsodyl, contain 0.2% chlorhexidine and recommend a 10 ml volume per rinse. The chlorhexidine mouthwash available in the USA, Peridex, contains 0.12% chlorhe...
amoxicillin, norfloxacin, cephalothin, gentamicin, tetracycline hydrochloride), or germicides such as chlorhexidine and triclosan [107–109]. Active agents can be integrated into polymers physically through adsorption or layer-by-layer assembly, chemically through covalent bonding, or by polymerizing an ...
(a concentration of 25% of the original solution) or water. The randomization ratio was 1:1. All patients were instructed to brush their teeth only once in the morning and before bedtime as usual for 7 days. Additionally, they were asked to rinse their mouth with Novel MAXPOWER Biological ...
Previous research have revealed the effectiveness of common organic antiseptics such as chlorhexidine (CHX), triclosan, polyethyleneimines (PEI), etc., as the sources of bacterial retardation [6,13]. In this study, antiseptics for medical applications are referred in their general term as ...
Recently, octenidine dihydrochloride has been used as a mouthwash and as an antiseptic agent to treat wounds and skin burns. Prior research has demonstrated that octenidine dihydrochloride and chlorhexidine were equally effective at combating microorganisms caus- ing dental plaque. Octenidine dihydrochloride...
The cationic antibacterial materials such as chlorhexidine, benzthonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride have been the subject of greatest investigation as antibacterial antiplaque agents. However, they are not effective when used with anionic materials. Noncationic antibacterial materials, on the oth...
A toothpaste may be prepared by forming a gel with humectant, gum or thickener such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, sweetener and adding thereto polishing agent, flavor, antibacterial agent, such as benzethonium chloride or chlorhexidine, additional water, and then the above-defined additive.
