Practice implications with an alcohol-free, 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride mouthrinse

摘要: Purpose Behavioral research was conducted to ascertain the relevance of an alcohol-free, 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) therapeutic mouthrinse contemporary dental practice over a 6-month usage period. Methods A randomized, single-blind study assess practice-relevant compliance, acceptability and side effects associated with two mouthrinses. The target population healthy adult users history routine prophylaxis maintenance care. Subjects were randomly assigned CPC (Crest Pro-Health Rinse) or cosmetic rinse control (Scope). Other oral hygiene not standardized. completed questionnaire examined by hygienists at baseline, again after 3 6 months rinsing. At completion, administered. Results Compliance generally favorable, 273 subjects (89%) completing rinsing study. Rinsing time stayed same increased relative baseline. Groups differed among subset who historically used essential oils (N=137), where those alcohol-free exhibited significantly (P= 0.02) longer times compared using alcohol-containing rinse. Subject evaluations positive respect both rinses. Side minimal, no between-group differences in hygienist-rated calculus stain accumulation, time. Clinical significance In study, high bioavailable showed compliance favorable user acceptability, similar seen mouthrinse. These findings suggest that may be readily incorporated within recall practice.
