You should know that no drug
is perfect in this world, in other words all the drugs
would have the advantage but also have weaknesses
or deficiencies.
Similarly with mouthwash that
is now popular among dentists
is chlorhexidine
gluconate and chlorine
dioxide. But a
lot of people ask: which of the two
mouthwash more effective against plaque?
Below is information about the two mouthwash which may
help you to choose the most
suitable for you.
Chlorine dioxide is
a mouthwash
that has some of
the workings associated with
oral disease or
dental disease. But one of the main ways of
working in the mouth is by doing what is called the process of oxidation
of sulfide bonds
in volatile sulfur
compound that may
be you are
familiar with the molecules that
cause bad breath. However,
experts have not been able to ensure the anti-bacterial
power. That is
through the mechanism of oxidation of the amino
acid cysteine or
through the mechanism of penetration into the bacterial
cell membrane, followed by oxidation processes
that disrupt the
internal enzyme activity of
bacteria.
While people have claimed
that the chlorine dioxide mouthwash safe
for long term
use and side effects are relatively smaller
when compared with the gold standard of
that chlorhexidine mouthwash. However, experts have not dared to ensure its safety when
used in the long term.
Besides, according to research released some
time ago showed that
chlorine dioxide was
also found not to have interfere with fibroblasts
which have an important role in tissue healing process.
Another advantage of chlorine
dioxide is not
to have side effects such as those held by chlorhexidine,
namely the emergence of staining on the teeth long enough to use, as well as
little disturbance of taste, and the taste
is not good for some people.
Once we know the advantages possessed by chlorine dioxide.
In conjunction with the plaque on our teeth,
the relevant question is whether the chlorine dioxide
can beat chlorhexidine
in terms of the rate of accumulation
of plaque?
Related to the above question,
Paraskevas and colleagues
from the Department of Periodontology, Academic Center for
Dentistry Amsterdam, has
conducted a study that found
the result that chlorhexidine
significantly more effective in inhibiting the growth of plaque.
Similarly, the information that can be given and the next choice is yours.
