Article Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this network meta-analysis was to compare the anti-plaque effects and adverse effects of different concentrations of chlorhexidine (CHX).
Methods: PubMed, OVID Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to October 2023 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of different concentrations of CHX in healthy populations. Random-effects network meta-analyses were performed to summarise the evidence, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework was used to rate the certainty of evidence. Cohen's d standardised mean differences were calculated as the measure of effect size.
Results: Thirty-eight RCTs involving 2011 participants and six concentrations of CHX (0.2%, 0.12%, 0.1%, 0.3%, 1% and 0.06%) were included. The anti-plaque effects of CHX at all concentrations were compared with placebo. Moderate to very low certainty evidence established 0.2% CHX as the most effective on anti-plaque. 0.12% and 0.1% CHX also showed significant anti-plaque effects. However, the ranking probabilities showed that the adverse effects of 0.12% and 0.1% CHX were < 0.2% CHX.
Conclusions: Compared with placebo, 0.2%, 0.12% and 0.1% CHX had significant anti-plaque effects, with moderate to very low certainty evidence that 0.2% CHX was most effective on anti-plaque. However, 0.2% CHX had larger adverse effects than 0.12% and 0.1% CHX.

Introduction: Mouthwashes are highly efficacious chemical agents for managing plaque and gingivitis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of turmeric (TM) and chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash as anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis agents.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted on the clinical case records of 60 patients with gingival and plaque scores of ≥ 1, who were treated with TM mouthwash as group 1 and CHX mouthwash as group 2 for a period of two months.
Combined Phase 1/2a Initial Clinical Safety Trials and Proof-of-Concept Assessment of a Novel Antimicrobial Peptide KSL-W Anti-Plaque Chewing Gum.

Objectives: The effective control of dental plaque is crucial for oral health, given that pathogenic bacteria in plaque are the primary cause of dental caries. Current antimicrobial agents, although effective, disrupt the oral microbiome and lead to oral dysbiosis, hindering efforts to curb dental caries. Novel antimicrobial peptides offer a promising solution due to their selective bactericidal activity against cariogenic bacteria.

This study presents the green synthesis and comprehensive characterization of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) using Desmostachya bipinnata (Db) extract, incorporated into two innovative mouthwash formulations (MW1 and MW2). UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of PtNPs, with distinct absorption peaks between 250 and 600 nm. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identified hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, critical for the bioreduction and stabilization of PtNPs.

The aim of this systematic review is to comparatively evaluate the Triphala and chlorhexidine mouthwashes efficacies in decreasing plaque formation and gingivitis in children. With a priori-set inclusion and exclusion criteria's and relevant MeSH terms, the PubMed, Cochrane and Ovid SP were scrutinized from the year 1980 to April 2023 for prospective articles. Outcomes evaluated were plaque formation and gingivitis through Plaque index and Gingival index.
