Oral hygiene is an important element in the prevention of oral diseases. While the main stream of maintaining good oral hygiene is by mechanical plaque control, there are still situations where chemical plaque control is needed. Out of all the currently available chemical plaque control methods, mouth rinse is the most easily available and widely used product. Currently there are a lot of mouthrinse products with different active ingredients in the market with different claimed actions. In this seminar, an overview of the available mouth rinse products will be given. A special focus will be given to chlorhexidine, which is a common mouth rinse used in relation to the management of periodontal disease. The related evidence for its use, and prevention of caries and periodontal disease will be discussed and recommendations on the use of these products will also be given.
