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
The resins containing soluble antibacterial agents, such as chlorhexidine which currently is used in mouth rinse, usually have only short-term antibacterial effects and Quaternary ammonium micro and nanofillers Another approach to incorporate quaternary ammonium groups into dental composites is through the ...
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...
It has been shown that a 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse will prevent the development of experimental gingivitis after the withdrawal of oral hygiene procedures.1,8It has thus been shown to be both a highly effective anti-plaque agent. However, when used as an adjunct to normal oral hy...
Furthermore, mouth- washes containing chlorhexidine and other germicidal may be cytotoxic [40]. Finally, complex herbal formula- tions may provide only inconsistent or erratic efficacy against H. pylori, as they may be highly variable in qual- ity and active ingredient content. The source ...
Dentosan (Johnson & Johnson Consumer Healthcare, Morris Plains, NJ, USA) is a chlorhexidine (CHX-) based mouthrinse, and it is recognised as the most effective chemical agent, usable in the oral cavity, for biofilm inhibition. It exists in three different concentrations (0.20%, 0.12%, and...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
