Randomised-crossover clinical trial on the substantivity of a single application of a gel containing chlorhexidine and o-cymen-5-ol on the oral biofilm and saliva
A 0.20% CHX + cymenol gel application demonstrates potent and immediate antimicrobial activity on salivary flora and de novo biofilm. This effect is maintained seven hours after application. Similar effects are obtained with a 0.20% CHX-only gel.
