The Effects of an Essential Oil and an Amine Fluoride/Stannous Fluoride Mouthrinse on Supragingival Plaque Regrowth

Abstract

ASF and EO mouthrinses exerted effective and similar plaque inhibition. The two dosages tested for ASF did not differ in plaque reduction. These findings, together with those from long-term trials, suggest that ASF and EO rinses may represent effective alternatives to CHX rinse as adjuncts to oral hygiene.

A Comparative Study of Fluoride Containing Chlorhexidine and Non-Chlorhexidine Mouthrinses in a Teenage Group

“…The adjunctive use of antimicrobial mouthrinses in mechanical oral hygiene measures was shown to be of value in inhibiting or reducing plaque formation. A number of antimicrobial mouthrinses are intended to prevent or reduce the accumulation of dental plaque when used daily (2,5). The cationic antiseptic CHX has often been used as a positive control during the assessment of other agents potential on plaque accumulation and gingival bleeding (14).…”

“…The cationic antiseptic CHX has often been used as a positive control during the assessment of other agents potential on plaque accumulation and gingival bleeding (14). However the side effects limit its duration of use, so recently, alternative non-CHX formulations such as EO and CPC have become a current issue promising better tolerance and similar efficacy (5,15).…”

“…A number of enzyme preparations, antiseptics, essential oils and surface IDR -Volume 2, Number 1, 2012 active agents have been examined and used for this purpose (3) Over the years, studies have showed that chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) is the most effective antimicrobial agent used for plaque control (3,4,5). However, the side effects of CHX, primarily staining, taste alteration, and enhancing supragingival calculus formation, limit its potential for long-term use, while promoting interest in research to determine the efficacy of alternative antiplaque agents (2,4,5). The three antimicrobial systems classified as safe and efficacious for the treatment of plaque-induced gingivitis by the FDI plaque subcommittee were cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), amine/stannous fluoride (AmF/ SnF 2 ), and essential oils (EO) (6).…”

“…In this context, non-CHX products like EO and CPC that offer an alternative to long-term use are available (7). The mouthrinses containing EO have received much attention, and their antiplaque effectiveness was demonstrated in numerous clinical trials (5,8,9). Similarly, several studies about the use of a CPC as a cationic surfaceactive agent reported significant improvement in plaque scores and bleeding indices (7).…”
