  5. T/F Fl2 rinses help prevent caries for both adults and children
    yes ma'am!
  6. T/F chemotherapeutic rinses have active ingredients to reduce inflammation or prevent perio disease and dental caries
    this is a true statement straight from Wilkins. Riskay!
  7. rinsing can deliver an agent less than ___ mm into the ____ or pocket and is not the delivery of choice for pt's with _______ or deep pockets due to access
    • 2mm
    • sulcus
    • moderate
  8. what type of chemotherapeutic agent will reduce bacteria?
    antimicrobial of course!
  9. what does an astringent do? anyone? anyone?

    have them use a mouthrinse
  15. _________ is the MOST effective agent available for clinical use

  18. pre-procedural
    perio debridement
    dental caries
    immunocompromised
    post-surger
    temporary use for poor OH are all good reasons to prescribe ___________

  19. CHX Is safe and effective in: (4)
    • preventing and controlling biofilm formation
    • reduces viability of existing biofilm
    • inhibits and reduces gingivitis
    • reduces Mutans streptococci
  20. Low toxicity = poor _______ through the _______ __________. these are some considerations during CHX use
    • absorption
    • mucous membranes
  21. T/F CHX can increase in supra calc formation
    true

    restorations,
    altered taste perception,
    minor tissue irritation;
    desquamination of oral mucosa are all ________ of CHX
