Abstract
Plaque control is one of the key elements in dental practice. The proper plaque control
facilitates the health return for patients with gingival and periodontal deseases. The
concept of using chemical agents to treat such conditions in the mouth has been widely
accepted as part of dental practice for hundred of years. Chemotherapeutic agents for
local use in the oral cavity are available in many forms over the years. The various
product categories and criteria for dental practice are reviewed, and consumer selections
are suggested. To date, two agents have been accepted by The American Dental
Association (ADA) for treatment of gingivitis: chlorhexidine mouthwash and essential oil
mouthwash.
