Effect of toothbrushing with different concentrations of chlorhexidine on the development of dental plaque and gingivitis
L. M. Bay
This study showed that 0.15, 0.10, and 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate
solutions used on the toothbrush subsequent to scaling were for at least 45
days able to maintain plaque and gingivitis scores lower than those
obtained 14 days after scaling and oral hygiene instruction. Discoloration
of teeth and fillings were the only side effects observed.
