[Effects of various oral rinses on the pathogenities of bacterial plaque].

For the chemical control of bacterial plaque, various oral rinses have been suggested. Oral rinses which have been used widely in dentistry for the treatment of periodontal disease were tested in this study. We investigated the effects of 4 national and 1 foreign commercially available oral rinses. Our study was headed to compare these oral rinses with CHx solution which has been accepted as a "+" control material. At the end of this study CHx was found to be the only effective solution. From those of tested, only Heksoral, a national brand, oral rinse and a foreign originated Veadent had very limited anti plaque effects.
