Antibacterial Activity and Randomised Controlled Trial of Chlorhexidine-Coated Floss on Gingival Bleeding
This study demonstrated the antibacterial and anti-gingivitis properties of chlorhexidine wax-coated dental floss. Our results showed that using chlorhexidine wax-coated dental floss at a concentration as low as 0.12% could significantly reduce gingival bleeding. However, no additional benefit of chlorhexidine wax-coated dental floss on dental plaque accumulation was found.
