Dental caries and periodontal diseases, the two arch criminals of oral cavity, are essentially caused by the micro-organisms present in dental plaque [1]. In India, nearly 60-65% of the child population is affected by dental caries and 10% has periodontitis [2,3]. Dental plaque plays an important role in the development of dental caries and periodontal disease, which results in both dysfunction...

This article briefly discusses the antibacterial action ofcetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and its efficacy in the removal of bacterial plaque as an adjunct to the mechanical cleaning of tooth surfaces. It reviews new studies on the effectiveness of mouthwash formulations containing CPC against two common oral bacteria species and in disrupting plaque biofilms. Finally, this article reviews three...

Infectious SARS-CoV-2 can be recovered from the oral cavities and saliva of COVID-19 patients with potential implications for disease transmission. Reducing viral load in patient using antiviral mouthwashes may therefore have a role as control measure limiting virus spread, particularly dental settings. Here, efficacy inactivation by seven commercially available range active ingredients were ev...

In cases of injuries in the oral cavity, mouthwash comes contact with underlying gingival connective tissue and should have its cytotoxicity assessed. However, there is no available evidence if cells elderly donors react differently during vitro assessments mouthwashes. This study aimed to compare evaluation two different types when assessed primary fibroblasts from either young older donors. P...

Chromosomal damage and apoptosis were analyzed in users of mouthwash and/or alcoholic beverages, using the micronucleus test on exfoliated oral mucosa cells. Samples from four groups of 20 individuals each were analyzed: three exposed groups (EG1, EG2 and EG3) and a control group (CG). EG1 comprised mouthwash users; EG2 comprised drinkers, and EG3 users of both mouthwashes and alcoholic beverag...

OBJECTIVE In general, chemical plaque agents have been used in mouthwashes, gels, and dentifrices. In some situations, application of mouthwashes and dentifrices can be difficult. Therefore, different approaches for oral health-care have been needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of propolis chewing-gum compared to propolis-containing mouthwash on gingival inflammation and pl...
