Mouth Rinses as Aids in Plaque Biofilm Control

A. introduction mouth rinse

1. Many mouth, and currently therapeutic solutions for rinsing of the mouth. Therapeutic solutions for rinsing of the mouth are solutions for rinsing of the mouth, which have some real advantages (to provide some therapeutic action)to the patient, in addition to the simple goal is to make the breath smell a bit better.

a. In the context of this Chapter therapeutic solutions for rinsing of the mouth will be conditioners that reduction of plaque biofilm enough to also reduce the severity of gingivitis (Fig. 28-5).

B. Over the past few decades, scientists are looking for chemicals that may be added for rinsing of the mouth that can really help to reduce plaque biofilm build up on the surface of the tooth, thereby helping control gingivitis or even periodontitis.

2. It should be noted that in addition to the therapeutic solutions for rinsing of the mouth, which can help control gingivitis, there are other therapeutic solutions for rinsing of the mouth, which can benefit the patient in various ways, such as reducing the risk of dental caries.

Features, ideal for rinsing of the mouth, should possess. Research in chemical plaque biofilm control have not given for rinsing of the mouth, which can be used as a shared replace mechanical plaque biofilm control. However, these studies really are made solutions for rinsing of the mouth, which may be useful components of the complex program of a patient to self-service. Ideal liquid for rinsing the mouth will have four characteristics that are described below. Field 28-4 presents an overview of the characteristics of an ideal for rinsing of the mouth.

1. Efficiency. The active ingredient in rinse should be effective in blocking or murder of periodontal pathogens.

2. Stability. Ingredients into a liquid for rinsing the mouth cavity should be stable at room temperature and have a reasonable shelf life.

3. Standards ty (sub-Stan-tiv-ity). The active ingredient in rinse should display the property substantivity. This means that the active ingredient is saved in the mouth, and after washing and will be released slowly over a long period of time {usually a few hours), resulting in continuing antimicrobial activity in regard to periodontal pathogens. a. Substantivity is an important characteristic, as plaque biofilm constantly grows and Matures.

B. Active ingredient which displays the property substantivity will continue to kill periodontal pathogens for a long number of hours after washing.

4. Security. Ingredients into a liquid for rinsing the mouth cavity should not create any harmful consequences for the tissues in the mouth or systematically patient. ..
