Method for determining the effectiveness of stabilized chlorine dioxide in a mouth rinse

摘要: A method for determining the available treatment dosage of stabilized chlorine dioxide in prevention and plaque accumulation, volatile sulfur compound production, gingivitis periodontitis, differentiating from other chlorine-containing compounds that may not have such beneficial effects is disclosed. When solution as dioxide, presence ions chlorate chloride only obscure results to concentration ClO 2 , but also reduce predicted effectiveness. The present invention uses validated analytical methods predict effectiveness by more precisely measuring its solution. Such measurement renders precision at a level required food-grade pharmacy-grade chemotherapeutic agents oral cavity. Preferred concentrations are within range about 0.005 2% (w/v) dioxide. be form wash, rinse, soak, paste, gel, aerosol spray, or suitable delivery system.
