Main Article Content

Supontep Teerakanok

Abstract

Chlorhexidine is commonly used in the medical and dental field because it is a board spectrum antimicrobial agent with high safety and efficacy. Although chlorhexidine was researched and developed as a commercial product for more than 60 years, the researchers still pay attention to the improvement of chlorhexidine application to yield the highest benefits. This review article aimed to elucidate chlorhexidine contained dental products, the approaches to optimize benefits, along with research and development of chlorhexidine application to improve the clinical efficacy.
