Chlorhexidine is a disinfectant and topical anti-infective agent used also as mouthwash to prevent oral plaque. The physiologic effect of chlorhexidine is by means of Decreased Cell Wall Integrity. Chlorhexidine is a biguanide compound used as an antiseptic agent with topical antibacterial activity.
Mouthwash, mouth rinse, oral rinse or mouth bath, is a liquid which is held in the mouth passively or swilled around the mouth by contraction of the perioral muscles and/or movement of the head, and may be gargled, where the head is tilted back and the liquid bubbled at the back of the mouth.hlorhexidine mouthwash alone is unable to prevent plaque, so it is not a substitute for regular toothbrushing and flossing. In the short term, if toothbrushing is impossible due to pain, as may occur in primary herpetic gingivostomatitis, chlorhexidine is used as temporary substitute for other oral hygiene measures.
