Glycerite of hydrogen peroxide solutions (1.5% and 0.75%) used as a dentifrice and as a rinse demonstrate an appreciable bactericidal action upon oral microorganisms. This action was particularly marked for the oral spirochetes.
Direct examination of material from the teeth and gingival crevices by the darkfield technic would seem to be an effective supplementary method for studying the action of antiseptic solutions on spirochetal organisms.
The decrease in the numbers of oral micro-organisms continues while the solution is being used, and tends to return to higher counts soon afterwards.
The effects of solutions of glycerite of hydrogen peroxide upon oral infections will be reported upon in the near future.
