Chlorhexidine in Dentistry Part I: Functional Mechanism and Adverse Effects
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since periodontal diseases and dental caries are mainly caused by oral microcosms, the elimination of oral biofilm plays a major in preventing and slowing disease progression. The use of antiseptic agents is another effective choice of treatment to reduce the number of oral microbes. Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic with a broad spectrum. Due to its high safety, chlorhexidine has been used widely in dentistry. This review article aimed to elucidate the mechanism of action against oral microbes, mechanism of controlling oral biofilm formation, adverse effects after using chlorhexidine in terms of cellular and clinical level.
