General Rule
• Try to Obtain Desired Effect With As
Few Agents and Steps Needed


Increased Compliance
Less Cost and Side Effects
Chlorhexidine and Caries
• Reduces bacterial count of S mutans

Sodium Fluoride (NaF) does not.
• Add 0.12% CHX to 0.05% NaF rinse

Arrests active enamel caries after 28 days
 NaF

ADA Expert Panel
Recommendation #1
ADA Expert Panel
Recommendation #2
• "Although chlorhexidine has been shown to
reduce S mutans in the oral cavity
temporarily, most of the clinical study
investigators who evaluated coronal caries as
the outcome did not show a statistically
significant reduction in caries with the use of
chlorhexidine in any vehicle.
• On the basis of the results of these studies, the
panel recommended against using
chlorhexidine products for coronal caries
prevention at this time.”
• “With respect to root caries, the panel
concluded that application of chlorhexidinethymol varnish may help reduce the incidence
of root caries in adults and elderly people and
reported insufficient evidence supporting the
use of 10 to 40 percent chlorhexidine varnish.“
Recent Findings
• 3-year clinical trial – in high risk adults.

Markedly ↓ MS levels; 24% ↓ in caries
• The regimen


0.12% CHX 10 ml rinse 1x day, 1 week/mo.
Reduced MS almost two log levels > 2 years.
• Fluoride added for remineralization.


1,100 ppm NaF toothpaste
0.05% NaF rinse

DENTIFRICES: FLUORIDE,
DESENSITIZING, WHITENING….
Fluoride Toothpaste
• Proven to reduce tooth decay (avg. 24%)

Most studies – 2x/day use
• For children – encourage supervision,
smear or pea-sized amount

Dispense across the bristles

Caries prevention (fluoride)

Antimicrobial action (gingivitis reduction)

Desensitizing (dentinal hypersensitivity)

Fluorosis: Mild
• No significant association with frequency or
amount of toothpaste
• < 1000 ppm toothpaste if concern- No clear evidence
