Abstract
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Biorepair, fluoride and chlorhexidine mouthwashes in controlling plaque accumulation and gingivitis, in addition to their remineralizing effect on the initial carious lesions. Methodsabout 81 children aged 7–12 years were participated in this study. They were randomly allocated in 3 groups according to the type of the used mouthwash. At baseline, each child was examined for plaque and gingival indices. DIAGNOdent was used to determine the mineral content in the incipient lesions. Children were instructed to use their specific mouthwash twice daily for 2 weeks, then they were recalled after 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks for recording the same parameters. ResultsAll the three types of mouthwashes showed significant reduction in plaque accumulation and gingivitis compared to the baseline. However, Biorepair and fluoride mouthwashes only showed significant remineralization of early carious lesions. ConclusionBiorepair mouthwash can serve as a better alternative to different mouthwashes including both fluoride and chloehexidine. This single mouthwash can serve as a multi-purpose mouthwash.
