Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this project was to compare the immediate antimicrobial effect and in situ substantivity of a new 0.20% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel and cymenol with the current CHX gel formulation on dental plaque biofilm and salivary flora up to 7 hours after a single application.

Arms & Interventions
0.20% CHX gel
Participants underwent a single application of the 0.20% CHX gel. Samples were collected in basal conditions (i.e., before application) and at 5 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours and 7 hours after application.
Intervention: 0.20% CHX gel on saliva
0.20% CHX gel
Participants underwent a single application of the 0.20% CHX gel. Samples were collected in basal conditions (i.e., before application) and at 5 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours and 7 hours after application.
Intervention: 0.20% CHX gel on oral biofilm
0.20% CHX and Cymenol gel
Participants underwent a single application of the 0.20% CHX + Cymenol gel. Samples were collected in basal conditions (i.e., before application) and at 5 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours and 7 hours after application.
Intervention: 0.20% CHX and Cymenol gel on saliva
0.20% CHX and Cymenol gel
Participants underwent a single application of the 0.20% CHX + Cymenol gel. Samples were collected in basal conditions (i.e., before application) and at 5 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours and 7 hours after application.
Intervention: 0.20% CHX and Cymenol gel on oral biofilm
