The effect of oxidising mouthrinses compared with chlorhexidine on salivary bacterial counts and plaque regrowth

摘要: Abstract For various clinical indications, oxidising agents have been used in dentistry for many years. Little is known, however, of their antibacterial activity and ability to inhibit plaque formation. In this study, 2 mouthrinses containing peroxyborate (Bocasan) peroxycarbonate (Kavosan) were compared alongside a negative control saline rinse positive chlorhexidine (Corsodyl) reformation. Employing randomised four replicate 4x4 latin square cross over design and, whilst omitting all other oral hygiene, was measured by area index after rinsing 4 days. second vivo effects the rinses assessed measuring salivary bacterial counts following single with preparations at time intervals 7 h, Plaque inhibition significantly greater than rinses. All better inhibiting plaque. area, Salivary count reductions up h. Whilst both produced 3 no interval differences significant. The findings these studies would suggest may formation not direct effect, but some mechanism. magnitude obtained more so suggst need further study when as adjuncts normal toothbrushing.
