Hypochlorous acid rinses are proposed for plaque control and as a wound healing agent for its use in oral health, due to its low toxicity, high antimicrobial efficacy, anti-inflammatory effect, induction to cell proliferation and its background as a topical solution in the antisepsis of wounds in clinical medicine. HOCl has also the ability to oxidize the amino acid taurine and induce the formation of chlorine-taurine (TauCl) which has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. The TauCl has a significant protective effect on tissues because it can inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators and thereby contribute to the processes of tissue protection.
