dc.description.abstract | The importance of maintaining good oral health cannot be underestimated in maintaining overall health and self-esteem. The use of oral care products including mouthwashes as part of a self-performed oral hygiene regime to control dental plaque is well documented in the dental literature. These products are available over the counter in pharmacies and supermarkets etc., and often sold as cosmetic products highlighting on their packaging (labelling) various claims such as “protects gums, reduces inflammation, kills plaque bacteria” This information may help the consumer in determining which product would be suitable for treating their problem. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of the active ingredients in selected mouthwash products and substantiate the claims made by the manufacturers from the published literature. | en_US |
