Kim, Y. R., & Nam, S. H. (2018). Comparison of the preventive effects of slightly acidic HOCl mouthwash and CHX mouthwash for oral diseases. Biomedical Research, 29(8), 1718-23.
The gargling with slightly acidic hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was found to be effective in the halitosis test, O’Leary index measurement, and Snyder test, and especially, the phase-contrast microscopy showed that Filamentous and Spirochetas, the bacteria that cause periodontal diseases, decreased remarkably. To prevent oral diseases, effective oral care can be achieved by managing dental plaque, decreasing the dental caries activity, and reducing the acid production ability of bacteria. The use of HOCl as a mouthwash rather than CHX, which is commonly used in dental practice but has side effects, will contribute to the prevention of oral diseases and will inhibit the adhesion of dental plaque to the teeth.
