Brief summary
In the current study we tested the hypothesis that new 0.05% Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthrinse formulations containing 0.12% or 0.03% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX): 1) yield similar or better clinical results regarding the inhibition of de novo plaque growth compared to those achieved with an already marketed 0.12% CHX mouthrinse (Perio-Aid Treatment without alcohol. Dentaid, Spain), 2) reduce the side effects caused by the marketed 0.12% CHX formula and 3) that these mouthrinses have no negative microbiological effects, and they control total bacterial loads.
Interventions
Participants were asked to rinse every 12 hours, with 15 ml for 30 seconds, and after spitting to refrain from rinsing their mouths with water and from eating or drinking for at least 60 minutes.
