Abstract
A clinical study was conducted on the effects of an alexidine or placebo oral rinse on plaque and gingivitis. Forty-two male subjects rinsed for 54 days while continuing toothbrushing. This was followed by 4 days of mouthrinsing only. The alexidine mouthrinse significantly reduced the plaque index when used in conjunction with toothbrushing and also when brushing was discontinued. The gingivitis results were inconclusive.Keywords
