A

Thymol
Eucalyptol
Methyl salicylate
menthol

21
Q

What are the indications to use listerine

A

prevents and reduce plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath

22
Q

What is the action of listerine

A

an essentail oil containing mouth rinse to inhibits symptoms of gingivitis

23
Q

A

26.9%

watch it with alcoholics

24
Q

What is the mechanism behind essential oils

A

it non-selectively and rapidly disrupts bacterial cell walls

reduces plaque endotoxin levels and pathogenicity for gingivitis

25

What are the active ingredients in CPC (Viaduct)

A

0.05% cetylpridinium chloride
zinc chloride
freshens breath

26

Q

What are two characteristics of CPC Cepacol

A

14% alcohol content

quaternary ammonium compound

31
Q

What is the mechanism behind cetylpyridinium chloride

A

ruptures bacterial cell membrane, leading to rapid leakage of cell contents and cell death
may alter bacterial metabolism, inhibiting growth

32
Q

What are the indications for using 0.12% chlorhexidine (peridex)

A

used to treat gingivitis and bleeding gums

33
Q

What is the mechanism of action by chlorhexidine

A

kills bacteria by altering the permeability of the cell membrane of the bacteria, causing leakage which eventually kills them
binds salivary mucins reducing pellicle formation, inhibiting colonizatio
binds bacteria, inhibiting adsorption onto teeth

34
Q

What are three characteristics of chlorhexidine

A

may cause tooth discoloration or increase in calculus formation
local hypersensitivity and sometimes generalized allergic reaction
bitter taste and can cause taste interference
