Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of antiplaque mouthwashes. Plaque levels were determined by applying a plaque-disclosing solution using the Turesky et al modification of the Quigley Hein plaque index. The control group (n = 6) brushed twice per day with fluoride toothpaste for one minute and rinsed with water, while the study groups (n = 6) brushed once per day with fluoride toothpaste for one minute, followed by rinsing with 5.0 mL of mouthwash diluted with 10.0 mL of water for 30 seconds. The control group brushed and rinsed with water twice per day. The results indicated that cetylpyridinium chloride in combination with sodium fluoride offered maximum plaque inhibition, followed by chlorhexidine gluconate and sodium monofluorophosphate, while plaque levels increased in the control group and with the combination of chlorhexidine gluconate and sodium fluoride. The only antiplaque agents to demonstrate a statistically significant difference from the control were cetylpyridinium chloride in combination with sodium fluoride, and chlorhexidine gluconate. Increasing the fluoride concentration had no impact on antiplaque activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This randomized double-blind clinical study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of two mouthwashes containing (1) 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) + 0.05% sodium fluoride (NaF) in an alcohol-free base and (2) 0.075% CPC + 0.05% NaF in a 6% alcohol base, versus a negative control mouthwash containing 0.05% NaF in an alcohol-free base on numbers of bacteria in supragingival plaque 12 hours after a single use and 12 hours after 14 days' use. METHODS Enrolled subjects completed a one-week washout phase prior to providing baseline samples of supragingival plaque that were analyzed for numbers of anaerobic microorganisms. Subjects were randomized to a treatment group and instructed to rinse with 20 mL of the assigned mouthwash for 30 seconds. Post-treatment microbiological analyses were conducted on plaque samples collected 12 hours after the first use of each assigned mouthwash and after completing 14 days of twice-daily use of each assigned mouthwash. Oral examinations were completed by a dentist at each sample collection to assess soft and hard tissue oral health over the course of the study. RESULTS The study enrolled 188 adults (mean age 45.78 years; age range 23-69). Subjects rinsing with the CPC-containing mouthwash realized a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in numbers of supragingival anaerobic bacteria at the 12-hour evaluation after a single use. In comparison to the control mouthwash, use of the CPC mouthwash in an alcohol base resulted in a 35.3% reduction in numbers of anaerobic plaque bacteria, while the CPC mouthwash in an alcohol-free base demonstrated a 34.5% reduction. Further, the analysis after twice-daily use for 14 days indicated that the CPC mouthwash in an alcohol base demonstrated a 73.8% reduction in anaerobic plaque bacteria, while the CPC mouthwash in an alcohol-free base demonstrated a 70.9% reduction in anaerobic plaque bacteria versus the control mouthwash. CONCLUSION The CPC mouthwash in an alcohol-free base reduced supragingival plaque bacteria by 34.5% and 70.9% compared to the control mouthwash 12 hours after a single use and after 14 days of use, respectively. In addition, the CPC mouthwash in an alcohol base reduced supragingival bacteria by 35.3% and 73.8% compared to the control mouthwash 12 hours after a single use and after 14 days of use, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the CPC-containing mouthwashes at either of the post-treatment time points.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy in reducing dental plaque regrowth of two mouthwashes containing 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), one with 6% alcohol and one alcohol-free, as compared to a negative control mouthwash without CPC, using the Modified Gingival Margin Plaque Index (MGMPI). METHODS The study was a double-blind, randomized, three-way crossover, controlled design. Following a washout period, subjects reported to the dental clinic where they were instructed to brush their teeth, used their assigned mouthwash, and were scored by the examining dentist for plaque using the MGMPI method. Subjects were instructed to refrain from all oral hygiene for the next 24 hours, except for rinsing with their assigned mouthwash 12 hours post-brushing. After this 24-hour period, subjects returned to the dental clinic and were once again scored for plaque. This sequence of washout followed by mouthwash use and plaque scoring was repeated until each subject had used all three mouthwashes. An ANOVA was conducted to assess between-group differences. RESULTS The two test mouthwashes significantly reduced plaque regrowth over a 24-hour period (p < 0.05) as compared to the negative control mouthwash. The difference between the CPC-containing mouthwashes was not significant (p = 0.4868). CONCLUSION Two mouthwashes containing 0.075% CPC, one with 6% alcohol and the other alcohol-free, were found to be safe and effective in reducing plaque accumulation when compared a negative control mouthwash without CPC. In short-term studies, the MGMPI appears useful for evaluating the antiplaque efficacy of mouthwash products.

Abstract
This article briefly discusses the antibacterial action ofcetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and its efficacy in the removal of bacterial plaque as an adjunct to the mechanical cleaning of tooth surfaces. It reviews new studies on the effectiveness of mouthwash formulations containing CPC against two common oral bacteria species and in disrupting plaque biofilms. Finally, this article reviews three clinical studies which support that the daily use of mouthwashes containing 0.075% CPC, with and without alcohol, represents a valuable complement to daily mechanical plaque control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of an antiplaque alcohol-free mouthwash containing 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and 0.05% sodium fluoride (NaF), as compared to a control mouthwash containing only 0.05% NaF, in controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis after three and six months of product use. METHODS This was a single-center, parallel-group, two-cell, double-blind, randomized clinical study. Prospective adult male and female subjects from San Jose, Costa Rica reported to the clinical facility having refrained from all oral hygiene procedures for 12 hours, and from eating, drinking, or smoking for four hours prior to their visit. Qualifying subjects who presented with Gingival Index scores (Löe and Silness Index) of at least 1.0 and Plaque Index scores (Turesky Modified Quigley-Hein Index) of at least 1.5 were allowed to participate in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups according to their baseline gingival and plaque scores. In the first treatment group (Test), subjects used an alcohol-free mouthwash containing 0.075% CPC and 0.05% NaF, whereas in the second treatment group (Control), subjects used a mouthwash containing only 0.05% NaF. Gingivitis and plaque assessments, and examinations of oral hard and soft tissues were conducted after three months and six months of product use. RESULTS One-hundred and ten (110) subjects complied with the protocol and completed the six-month study. After six months of product use, the Test Mouthwash group exhibited statistically significant reductions from baseline with respect to Gingival (33.5%), Gingival Interproximal (34.5%), Gingival Severity (63.2%), Plaque (33.6%), Plaque Interproximal (30.0%), and Plaque Severity (73.6%) Index scores. After six months of product use, the Control Mouthwash group exhibited statistically significant increases from baseline with respect to Gingival (6.9%), Plaque Interproximal (7.2%), and Plaque Severity (32.7%) Index scores. Furthermore, after six months of product use, the Control Mouthwash group exhibited reductions from baseline with respect to Plaque (6.1%), Gingival Interproximal (3.6%), and Gingival Severity (1.1%) Index scores which were not statistically significant. After three months of product use, the Test Mouthwash group exhibited statistically significant reductions in Gingival (25.0%), Gingival Interproximal (22.3%), Gingival Severity (38.9%), Plaque (26.1%), Plaque Interproximal (22.4%), and Plaque Severity (75.0%) Index scores as compared to the Control Mouthwash group. After six months of product use, the Test Mouthwash group exhibited statistically significant reductions in Gingival (38.1%), Gingival Interproximal (37.1%), Gingival Severity (63.6%), Plaque (36.5%), Plaque Interproximal (33.2%), and Plaque Severity (78.5%) Index scores as compared to the Control Mouthwash group. CONCLUSION The results of this double-blind clinical study support that 1) an alcohol-free mouthwash containing a combination of 0.075% CPC and 0.05% NaF produces statistically significant reductions in dental plaque and gingivitis after three and six months compared to baseline, and 2) the alcohol-free CPC mouthwash provides a statistically significantly greater level of efficacy in controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis after three and six months of product use as compared to the Control Mouthwash containing only NaF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antiplaque/antigingivitis effectiveness of an essential oils containing mouthrinse as compared to a 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouthrinse. METHOD Generally healthy subjects with mild to moderate levels of plaque and gingivitis participated in a 6-month, examiner-blind, single centre, randomised, parallel-group controlled clinical trial. They were randomised into three mouthrinse groups--control (C), 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), or a fixed combination of essential oils (EO). Subjects received a dental prophylaxis at baseline and rinsed twice daily in addition to their usual oral hygiene for six months. Plaque Index and Modified Gingival Index were determined at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS At 6 months, the EO group exhibited statistically significantly lower mean scores for MGI and PI than CPC (32.4% and 56.2% reductions, respectively). Compared to control, EO provided statistically significantly lower mean MGI and PI scores (36.3% and 69.7 %, respectively). The CPC group showed statistically significantly lower mean MGI and PI scores than the C group (5.8% and 30.7%, respectively). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the superiority of an EO rinse compared to a 0.05% CPC rinse in reducing plaque and gingivitis and confirmed that the daily use of an EO containing mouthrinse can provide a clinically significant benefit in reducing plaque and gingivitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this independent, double-blind, seven-day clinical study was to assess the efficacy of a commercially available mouthrinse containing 0.05% CPC for controlling dental plaque relative to that of a control mouthrinse without 0.05% CPC. METHODS Adult male and female subjects from the San Juan, Puerto Rico area reported to the clinical facility, having refrained from any oral hygiene procedures for 12 hours, and from eating, drinking, and smoking for four hours, for an assessment of the oral soft and hard tissues and a baseline dental plaque evaluation. Qualifying subjects were randomly assigned into one of the two treatment groups, and were provided with their assigned mouthrinse, an adult soft-bristled toothbrush, and a commercially available fluoride toothpaste for home use. Over the seven-day period of home use, during which there were no restrictions regarding diet or smoking habits, subjects were instructed to brush their teeth for one minute twice daily (morning and evening) with the toothbrush and toothpaste supplied, to rinse their mouths with water after brushing, and then to rinse with 15 ml of their assigned mouthrinse for one minute before expectorating. The use of other oral hygiene products or procedures, such as floss or interdental stimulators, was not permitted during the study. After seven days of product use, subjects returned to the clinical facility having followed the same restrictions with respect to oral hygiene procedures, eating, and drinking as prior to the baseline examination, and the oral soft and hard tissue assessments and dental plaque evaluations were repeated. Comparisons between treatment groups with respect to baseline-adjusted Plaque Index scores at the seven-day examination were performed using Analyses of Covariance, p < or = 0.05. RESULTS Forty-eight subjects complied with the protocol and completed the study. Results demonstrated that, after seven days of product use and 12 hours after rinsing, both the CPC mouthrinse group and the control mouthrinse group exhibited statistically significant reductions in whole-mouth Plaque Index scores (25.3% and 6.6%, respectively), in Plaque Index scores measured at interproximal sites (51.3% and 32.9%, respectively), and in Plaque Severity Index scores (43.5% and 25.4%, respectively). Relative to the control mouthrinse, the 0.05% CPC mouthrinse group exhibited statistically significant greater reductions in whole-mouth plaque scores (15.9%), in Plaque Index scores measured at interproximal sites (23%), and in Plaque Severity Index scores (17%). As the measurements were made 12 hours after final product use, the results also demonstrate that the CPC mouthrinse provides 12-hour protection against plaque accumulation in individuals with existing plaque. CONCLUSION The overall results of this double-blind clinical study support the conclusion that after seven days of product use, a mouthrinse containing 0.05% CPC provides significantly greater efficacy for reducing dental plaque 12 hours after use, than does a control mouthrinse without 0.05% CPC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this independent, double-blind, parallel, six-week clinical study was to assess the efficacy of a commercially available mouthrinse containing 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) for controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis relative to that of a control mouthrinse without CPC. METHODS Adult male and female subjects from the Maceió, Brazil area reported to the clinical facility, after having refrained from any oral hygiene procedures for 12 hours, and from eating, drinking, and smoking for four hours, for an assessment of the oral soft and hard tissues, and for a baseline gingivitis and dental plaque evaluation. Qualifying subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups, and were provided with their assigned mouthrinse, and an adult soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste for home use. Over the six-week period of home use, during which there were no restrictions regarding diet or smoking habits, subjects were instructed to brush their teeth for one minute twice daily with the supplied toothbrush and a commercially available fluoride toothpaste, to rinse their mouths with water after brushing, and then to rinse with their assigned mouthrinse for one minute before expectorating. The use of any other oral hygiene products or procedures, such as floss or interdental stimulators, was not permitted during the study. After six weeks of product use, subjects returned to the clinical facility, having followed the same restrictions with respect to oral-hygiene procedures, eating and drinking, as with the baseline visit, and the oral soft and hard tissue assessments and gingivitis and dental plaque evaluations were repeated. RESULTS One-hundred and ten subjects complied with the protocol and completed the study. With regard to supragingival plaque, after six weeks of product use, the subjects using the 0.05% CPC mouthrinse exhibited statistically significant reductions from baseline in whole-mouth Plaque Index scores (32.1%), in Plaque Index scores measured at interproximal sites (31.3%), and in Plaque Severity Index scores (84.8%). Subjects using the control mouthrinse exhibited statistically significant reductions from baseline in whole-mouth Plaque Index scores (7.0%), in Plaque Index scores measured at interproximal sites (6.4%), and in Plaque Severity Index scores (24.5%). When compared to the control mouthrinse group, the 0.05% CPC mouthrinse group presented statistically significant greater reductions in whole-mouth Plaque Index scores (27.9%), in Plaque Index scores measured at interproximal sites (27.9%), and in Plaque Severity Index scores (81.1%) after six weeks of product use. With regard to gingivitis, after six weeks of product use, subjects using the 0.05% CPC mouthrinse exhibited statistically significant reductions from baseline in whole-mouth Gingival Index scores (25.0%), in Gingival Index scores measured at interproximal sites (25.3%), and in Gingivitis Severity Index scores (42.4%). Subjects using the control mouthrinse exhibited statistically significant reductions from baseline in whole-mouth Gingival Index scores (6.5%), in Gingival Index scores measured at interproximal sites (5.5%), and in Gingivitis Severity Index scores (11.6%). When compared to the control mouthrinse group, the 0.05% CPC mouthrinse group presented statistically significant greater reductions in whole-mouth Gingival Index scores (19.8%), in Gingival Index scores measured at interproximal sites (20.7%), and in Gingivitis Severity Index scores (35.5%) after six weeks of product use. CONCLUSION The results of this double-blind, parallel, six-week clinical study support the conclusion that a mouthrinse containing 0.05% CPC is efficacious for controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis. As measurements were conducted 12 hours after product use, the results also demonstrate that the 0.5% CPC mouthrinse provides 12-hour protection against plaque and gingivitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this independent, double-blind, seven-day clinical study was to assess the efficacy of a commercially available mouthrinse containing 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in preventing dental plaque build-up relative to that of a control mouthrinse without 0.05% CPC. METHODS Adult male and female subjects from the São Paulo, Brazil area reported to the clinical facility, having refrained from any oral hygiene procedures for 12 hours, and from eating, drinking, and smoking for four hours, for an assessment of the oral soft and hard tissues and a baseline dental plaque evaluation. Subjects qualifying for participation received a complete dental prophylaxis. Qualifying subjects were randomly assigned into one of the two treatment groups and were provided with their assigned mouthrinse, an adult soft-bristled toothbrush, and a commercially available fluoride toothpaste for home use. Over the seven-day period of home use, during which there were no restrictions regarding diet or smoking habits, subjects were instructed to brush their teeth for one minute twice daily (morning and evening) with the toothbrush and toothpaste supplied, to rinse their mouths with water after brushing, and then to rinse with 15 ml of their assigned mouthrinse for one minute before expectorating. The use of other oral hygiene products or procedures, such as floss or interdental stimulators, was not permitted during the study. After seven days of product use, subjects returned to the clinical facility having followed the same restrictions with respect to oral hygiene procedures, eating and drinking, as prior to the baseline examination, and the oral soft and hard tissue assessments and dental plaque evaluations were repeated. RESULTS Forty-three subjects complied with the protocol and completed the study. Results demonstrated that after seven days of product use, mean plaque levels were statistically significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the pre-prophylaxis levels for both treatment groups. The mean plaque level for the CPC mouthrinse group was 46.1% of the pre-prophylaxis plaque level, whereas the mean plaque level for the control mouthrinse group was 75.5% of the pre-prophylaxis plaque level. The results demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in plaque build-up for the CPC mouthrinse group (29.3%) as compared to the control group. CONCLUSION The overall results from this double-blind clinical study support the conclusion that, after seven days of product use, a mouthrinse containing 0.05% CPC provides significantly greater efficacy in preventing dental plaque build-up than a control mouthrinse without 0.05% CPC. As measurements were made 12 hours after final product use, the results also demonstrate that the CPC rinse provides 12-hour protection against dental plaque build-up.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the malodor reduction benefits of a therapeutic night-time oral hygiene regimen that combined antibacterial toothpaste and mouthrinse with an oscillating-rotating rechargeable power toothbrush. METHODS AND MATERIALS An independent clinical trial was conducted using a randomized, negative-controlled, single blind, two treatment, 4-period crossover design. After completing a 1-week acclimation period, subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment sequence consisting of the following two regimens: (1) a night-time regimen of Crest Pro-Health Night dentifrice, Crest Pro-Health Night rinse, and Oral-B Vitality Precision Clean power toothbrush and (2) a control regimen of Crest Cavity Protection dentifrice and an ADA manual toothbrush. Each treatment period started with an overnight baseline volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) Halimeter measurement, followed by twice daily use of the assigned regimen. Post-treatment overnight malodor was assessed at 24 hours. There were 2-day washout periods between treatments. All procedures were repeated with the next assigned regimen, through four crossover periods. RESULTS Twenty-five subjects completed the study. Twice daily use of the therapeutic night-time regimen resulted in a significant (p>0.001) 35% reduction of mean VSC levels in the overnight breath compared to the control regimen. CONCLUSION One-day use of a night-time regimen consisting of a therapeutic paste, rinse, and an oscillating-rotating rechargeable power toothbrush provided a 35% reduction in overnight breath malodor compared to regular brushing. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Combining a proven therapeutic dentifrice, mouthrinse, and advanced design toothbrush in a single regimen is an efficient means of maximizing breath odor reductions.

Abstract
This article presents the results of a controlled clinical trial evaluating a new at-home treatment to improve gingival health. Designed for overnight application at the gingival margins and in the interproximal spaces, the product is a mucoadhesive gel containing 0.10% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and 0.592% zinc gluconate (ZG). The authors assessed the efficacy and safety of the CPC/ZG gel in adults with low-to-moderate gingival and plaque index scores by comparing clinical and laboratory findings for subjects using the CPC/ZG gel with those for subjects using the control gel (0% CPC and 0.592% ZG). Clinical findings at 3 and 6 months showed statistically significant improvements in two of the three major indices of gingival health in the CPC/ZG group compared with the control group. The performance of the treatment gel was supported by results of microbial analyses of plaque samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate using digital plaque image analysis the antiplaque efficacy of oral care regimens including use of antimicrobial toothpaste in combination with antimicrobial mouthrinse. METHODS 16 subjects completed the study protocol including: (1) initial treatment phase, all subjects used a standard sodium fluoride dentifrice with 2x/day brushing, (2) second treatment phase, subjects were randomized to two treatment groups: stannous fluoride/sodium hexametaphosphate dentifrice or sodium fluoride triclosan/copolymer dentifrice; (3) third treatment phase, the group using stannous fluoride dentifrice rinsed with alcohol-free cetylpyridinium chloride mouthrinse and the group using triclosan dentifrice rinsed with essential oil mouthrinse. During each phase, plaque levels were assessed in the morning before toothbrushing (AM), post-brushing in the morning (PB) and in the afternoon (PM). RESULTS Stannous fluoride dentifrice was superior to triclosan dentifrice in plaque growth inhibition between toothbrushing. Both mouthrinses provided additional plaque prevention benefits when used with antimicrobial dentifrices. The cetylpyridinium chloride mouthrinse and stannous fluoride dentifrice regimen was particularly effective, building accretive efficacy over time. Average plaque reductions exceeded 50% vs. sodium fluoride dentifrice alone. Chemotherapeutic dentifrices and rinses increase plaque control used alone and particularly in combination. The stannous fluoride-cetylpyridinium chloride regimen showed the greatest benefits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of an experimental mouth rinse containing 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) (Crest Pro-Health) with those provided by a commercially available mouth rinse containing essential oils (EOs) (Listerine) on dental plaque accumulation and prevention of gingivitis in an unsupervised 6-month randomized clinical trial. MATERIAL AND METHODS This double-blind, 6-month, parallel group, positively controlled study involved 151 subjects balanced and randomly assigned to either positive control (EO) or experimental (CPC) mouth rinse treatment groups. At baseline, subjects received a dental prophylaxis procedure and began unsupervised rinsing twice a day with 20 ml of their assigned mouthwash for 30 s after brushing their teeth for 1 min. Subjects were assessed for gingivitis and gingival bleeding by the Gingival index (GI) of Löe & Silness (1963) and plaque by the Silness & Löe (1964) Plaque index at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of rinsing. At 3 and 6 months, oral soft tissue health was assessed. Microbiological samples were also taken for community profiling by the DNA checkerboard method. RESULTS Results show that after 3 and 6 months of rinsing, there were no significant differences (p=0.05) between the experimental (CPC) and the positive control mouth rinse treatment groups for overall gingivitis status, gingival bleeding, and plaque accumulation. At 6 months, the covariant (baseline) adjusted mean GI and bleeding sites percentages for the CPC and the EO rinses were 0.52 and 0.53 and 8.7 and 9.3, respectively. Both mouth rinses were well tolerated by the subjects. Microbiological community profiles were similar for the two treatment groups. Statistically, a significant greater reduction in bleeding sites was observed for the CPC rinse versus the EO rinse. CONCLUSION The essential findings of this study indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis benefits between the experimental CPC mouth rinse and the positive control EO mouth rinse over a 6-month period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS The author conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the efficacy of antigingivitis and antiplaque products in six-month trials. He searched electronic databases for six-month randomized clinical studies that evaluated both antiplaque and antigingivitis properties of dentifrices or mouthrinses. In addition, the author solicited unpublished studies from manufacturers. RESULTS Seventeen studies support the antiplaque, antigingivitis effects of dentifrices containing 0.30 percent triclosan, 2.0 percent Gantrez copolymer. There was no evidence of efficacy for triclosan products containing either soluble pyrophosphate or zinc citrate. Dentifrices with stannous fluoride had statistically significant, but marginally clinically significant, evidence of an antiplaque effect; however, there was both a statistically and clinically significant antigingivitis effect. The largest body of studies (21 studies) supported the efficacy of mouthrinses with essential oils. A smaller body of studies (seven) supported a strong antiplaque, antigingivitis effect of mouthrinses with 0.12 percent chlorhexidine. Results for mouthrinses with cetylpyridinium chloride varied and depended on the product's formula. CONCLUSIONS The studies in this systematic review provide strong evidence of the antiplaque, antigingivitis effects of multiple agents. These results support the use of these agents as part of a typical oral hygiene regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial investigated the anticalculus effect of a cetylpyridinium chloride/ zinc gluconate (CPC/ZG) mucoadhesive gel. METHODOLOGY The 80 adults from the San Francisco area who fulfilled the enrollment criteria were stratified based on total Volpe-Manhold Index (VMI) scores (low, medium, or high), gender, and other demographic data. Within these strata, they were randomly assigned to the CPC/ZG gel group or the placebo gel group, and underwent a baseline oral soft tissue (OST) examination. Subjects were dispensed Oral-B Indicator 35 Compact Head soft toothbrushes and Colgate Cavity Protection MFP toothpaste, and instructed to brush twice daily using these products. Every night for three months, following the nighttime brushing and just before retiring, subjects applied their assigned treatment gel to the lingual surfaces of the six mandibular anterior teeth. They were instructed not to eat or drink until morning and to avoid using other methods of interdental cleaning between the treated teeth, except to remove impacted food. Total VMI scores and OST examination findings obtained at three months were compared with baseline findings. RESULTS Seventy-eight (78) of the 80 subjects complied with the protocol and completed the study. After three months of treatment, the CPC/ZG group showed a 30% decrease in mean VMI score compared with a 0% decrease in the placebo group. OST examination at three months revealed no serious adverse events in either group. CONCLUSION Results of this clinical trial indicate that regular use of the CPC/ZG gel, with or without the use of floss or other interdental cleaning products, yields a statistically significant reduction in calculus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental floss is only used by a small part of the population on a daily basis. Therefore, an easy, applicable alternative is needed. This alternative could be a mouthrinse with antimicrobial activity for daily use. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of two mouthrinses in reducing interdental plaque and gingivitis compared to dental floss. METHODS A total of 156 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to the following groups: 1) toothbrushing and rinsing (0.06% chlorhexidine and 0.025% fluoride); 2) toothbrushing and rinsing (0.1% cetylpyridiniumchloride and 0.025% fluoride); 3) toothbrushing and flossing; and 4) toothbrushing only (N = 39 subjects in each group). At baseline, the modified proximal plaque index (MPPI) and papillary bleeding index (PBI) were recorded. Thereafter, subjects had to brush in the usual manner during 8 weeks. Additionally, test groups had to rinse once a day (groups 1 and 2: 30 seconds) or to floss (group 3). Eight weeks after baseline, indices were recorded again and improvements were calculated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Bonferroni test served for statistical analysis. RESULTS After 8 weeks, reductions for all indices were found in all groups (P <0.05). With respect to the MPPI, mouthrinse groups performed better than the control and floss groups: 1) 0.73; 2) 0.82; 3) 0.40; and 4) 0.32 (P <0.05). The PBI showed no statistically significant difference between groups: 1) 0.46; 2); 0.50; 3); 0.42; and 4) 0.37. CONCLUSION The results suggest that, in combination with toothbrushing, daily use of the tested mouthrinses may result in a higher interproximal plaque reduction than daily flossing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various toothbrushing regimens with a standard fluoride dentifrice on the plaque inhibitory properties of an alcohol-free, high bioavailable 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthrinse. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was a randomized, single-centre, examiner blind, four-period cross-over study involving 29 healthy subjects. Four treatment regimens were evaluated: (1) Toothbrushing with dentifrice followed by a water rinse (B-W, negative control); (2) Toothbrushing with dentifrice followed by a CPC mouthrinse use (B-CPC); (3) Toothbrushing with dentifrice followed by a water rinse and then a CPC mouthrinse use (B-W-CPC); and (4) Toothbrushing with dentifrice and waiting 60 min. prior to a CPC mouthrinse use (B-60 min.-CPC). Three days before the baseline exam of treatment periods, subjects were instructed to brush only the lingual surfaces of their teeth for up to 60 s twice daily. At baseline, subjects received a plaque exam using the Turesky modification of the Quigley-Hein index (MQH) followed by a polishing on the lingual and buccal surfaces of their teeth. During treatment periods, subjects were asked to brush only the lingual surfaces of their teeth with a standard fluoride dentifrice. Rinsing with 20 ml of the experimental CPC solution was done for 30 s twice daily. The evening before the last day of treatment periods (Day 4), subjects were asked to refrain from any oral hygiene, eating, and drinking after brushing. On Day 4, plaque was scored using the MQH Index. A 10-day wash-out of normal oral hygiene was allowed between each of the four treatment periods. The data were analysed using analysis of covariance for cross-over designs. RESULTS Twenty-five to 29 subjects were evaluable at any given visit. With respect to unbrushed buccal and brushed lingual surfaces, all three CPC regimens had highly significantly (p < or = 0.0006) lower mean plaque scores than the B-W regimen, reductions ranging from 20% to 38% in magnitude. With respect to unbrushed surfaces, there was a significant difference between the B-CPC regimen and the B-60 min.-CPC regimen (p < 0.01) in favour of the latter regimen. No other pairwise treatment comparisons were statistically significant for unbrushed sites. Results for brushed surfaces and all sites combined showed that both the B-W-CPC and the B-60 min.-CPC groups reduced mean plaque levels significantly (p < or = 0.013) more than B-CPC. There were no statistically significant differences between B-W-CPC and B-60 min.-CPC for measurements of brushed, unbrushed, or all sites combined. CONCLUSIONS Results show that the alcohol-free, 0.07% high bioavailable CPC rinse provides an additive anti-plaque benefit beyond toothbrushing with a standard fluoride dentifrice regardless of the regimen. Of the regimens, a water rinse between toothbrushing and CPC rinsing enhances therapeutic efficacy while fitting into the patient's typical oral hygiene routine.

Abstract
Taking into account the limitations of the daily self-performed oral hygiene the use of chemical agents that can be incorporated in dentifrice or mouth rinse formulations has been advocated. The present review deals with randomized controlled clinical trials of >or=6 months in duration, on the use of those agents and their effects on plaque and gingival inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic chlorhexidine mouthwashes are equally effective and have fewer potential risks than hydroalcoholic solutions. Nowadays, other active ingredients are added to these mouthwashes in an attempt to improve their effectiveness and reduce side effects. Following an experimental gingivitis model, this study examined three non-alcoholic commercial mouthwashes having 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) in common. METHODS Using a double masked, cross-over design, 30 subjects underwent three consecutive experimental phases with three mouthwashes: CHX, CHX + 0.05% sodium fluoride (CHXNaF), and CHX + 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride (CHX-CPC). In each one of these 21-day phases, the subjects discontinued all oral hygiene measures and were treated exclusively with the experimental mouthwash randomly assigned (an oral rinse twice a day). Each experimental phase was preceded by a 14-day washout period. Levels of gingivitis, dental plaque, supragingival calculus, and dental staining were assessed at baseline and end (day 21) of experimental phases. RESULTS The evolution of gingival and dental staining indices did not show statistically significant differences between the treatments. Differences were noticed in the plaque index (P = 0.0002), with CHX-NaF the treatment with the greatest increase. Differences were also observed in the supragingival calculus index (P = 0.0136), with CHX-CPC showing a smaller increase. Tongue staining was more frequent with CHX-CPC (P = 0.0141). CONCLUSION In non-alcoholic 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwashes, the addition of other active ingredients does not produce beneficial effects, but may even reduce the antiplaque effectiveness or increase tongue staining.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a mouth-rinse formulation combining benzydamine hydrochloride and cetylpyridinium chloride (BNZ+CPC) in preventing de novo plaque formation, in comparison with CPC and placebo mouth rinses. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a controlled, observer-blind, cross-over study. In this model of plaque re-growth, subjects received a session of oral prophylaxis and were directed to withdraw oral hygiene measures for the next 4 days, using only the mouth rinse assigned. The outcome parameters were the plaque index (PlI) and gingival index (GI). In addition, microbiological evaluation of the subgingival microflora, by means of culture, was performed, as well as patient-based variables. Data analysis was carried out using anova for Latin-square design. RESULTS The analysis of variance showed a significant statistical difference between the BNZ+CPC association and placebo (p<0.0001). No differences between CPC and placebo were detected considering multiple comparisons between treatments. The 90% confidence interval of the differences between BNZ+CPC and CPC showed no equivalence between treatments, being the PlI lower in the BNZ+CPC group. No significant difference between groups in GI was observed. Mean anaerobic colony-forming units (CFU) demonstrated a significant increase between visits in all groups (p<0.001) and differences among groups were not significant. Subjects treated with BNZ+CPC frequently reported "tingling mouth" and "numbness mouth". CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the study model, the BNZ+CPC combination showed a statistically significant plaque-inhibitory capacity, as compared with the placebo mouth rinse, and an additive effect as compared with CPC. No relevant clinical or microbiological adverse effects were detected.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of a novel mouthrinse containing 0.07% high bioavailable cetylpyridinium chloride (Crest Pro-Health Rinse) on the development of gingivitis and plaque versus a placebo control over a period of 6 months. METHODS This was a randomized, 6-month, placebo-controlled, parallel groups, double blind, single center clinical trial. One hundred thirty-nine generally healthy adults with mild-to-moderate gingivitis were enrolled in the study. Subjects were given Modified Gingival Index (MGI), Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) and Modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (MQH) examinations followed by a dental prophylaxis. Subjects were then randomly assigned to either the cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) rinse or placebo rinse and instructed to begin rinsing twice a day with 20 ml of their assigned mouthrinse for 30 seconds after brushing their teeth. Subjects were assessed for MGI, GBI and MQH scores after 3 and 6 months of product use. Oral hard and soft tissue examinations were also performed at all visits. RESULTS 124 subjects were evaluable at Month 3 and 119 at Month 6. After 6 months, subjects rinsing with the CPC rinse showed 15.4% less gingival inflammation, 33.3% less gingival bleeding, and 15.8% less plaque relative to the placebo group. All reductions were highly statistically significantly different (P< 0.01). Results were similar at 3 months. Both treatments were well-tolerated. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study demonstrates that the Crest Pro-Health 0.07% CPC mouthrinse provided significant antiplaque and antigingivitis benefits when used twice daily for 6 months as an adjunct to toothbrushing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Behavioral research was conducted to ascertain the relevance of an alcohol-free, 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) therapeutic mouthrinse to contemporary dental practice over a 6-month usage period. METHODS A randomized, single-blind study was conducted to assess practice-relevant compliance, acceptability and side effects associated with two mouthrinses. The target population was healthy adult mouthrinse users with a history of routine dental prophylaxis and maintenance care. Subjects were randomly assigned to a therapeutic mouthrinse with 0.07% CPC (Crest Pro-Health Rinse) or a cosmetic rinse control (Scope). Other oral hygiene was not standardized. Subjects completed a questionnaire and were examined by dental hygienists at baseline, and again after 3 and 6 months rinsing. At study completion, a dental prophylaxis was administered. RESULTS Compliance was generally favorable, with 273 subjects (89%) completing the 6-month rinsing study. Rinsing time generally stayed the same or increased relative to baseline. Groups differed among the subset who historically used an essential oils rinse (N=137), where those assigned to the alcohol-free therapeutic rinse exhibited significantly (P= 0.02) longer rinsing times compared to subjects using the alcohol-containing cosmetic rinse. Subject evaluations were generally positive with respect to both rinses. Side effects were minimal, with no between-group differences in hygienist-rated calculus or stain accumulation, or prophylaxis time. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE In a 6-month study, a high bioavailable 0.07% CPC therapeutic mouthrinse showed generally high compliance and favorable user acceptability, with similar side effects to those seen with a cosmetic mouthrinse. These findings suggest that the 0.07% CPC mouthrinse may be readily incorporated within the contemporary recall dental practice.
