What are 3 types of concentrations that fluorides are available in?

What are 3 general uses of fluoride?

Which agent of mouth rinse is efficient in the reduction of biofilm or caries when used topically, and the stannous type leads to modest reduction in gingivitis?

What are 2 considerations with fluoride?

What agent of mouth rinse has a cationic bisbiguanide with antibacterial activity that binds to hard and soft tissue?

What agent of mouth rinse damages cytoplasm of cell membrane (bacterocidal); and binds to pellicle to prevent biofilm accumulation?

What agent of mouth rinse is bacteriicidal and bacteriostatic depending on concentration, and when bacteriostatic interferes with the cell wall transport system?

What agent of mouth rinse lasts 8-12 hours?

What is the most effective therapeutic/preventive agent available for clinical use (RX 0.12% in US)

What are 3 ways CHX comes in?

What agent is typically used for a pre-procedural rinse, perio-debridement, dental caries, immunocompromised, post-surgery, and temporary use for poor OH?

What agent is efficient in prevention and control of biofilm formation, reduces viability of existing biofilm, inhibits and reduces gingivitis, reduces mutans streptococci, and when used in varnish, reduces caries in children and those with xerostomia?

true or false. CHX varnish is available in the US
True False

low tioxicity, staining of teeth in restoration areas, increase in supra calc formation, altered taste perception, minor soft tissue irritation with desquamation of oral mucosa, and can be inactivated by sodium lauryl sulfate if rinsing right after brushing are all considerations for what agent?

How long must you wait after you brush to rinse with CHX?

What agent has a bisphenol and antimicrobial agent, and an antigingivitis agent?

What type of agent is effective atainst gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria; and can cause baceriolysis by acting on microbial cyctoplasmic membranes, and has low toxicity?

What agent has mouthrinses and dentrifices available in other countries, dentrificdes available in the US, and reduces gingivitis and biofilm accumulation?

What agent is efficient in reducing biofilm and bleeding on probing?

when this agent is combined with PVM/MA it increases substantivity and efficacy; and it is easily released from oral tissue binding sites such as tooth surface and soft tissue. What agent are those considerations for?

What type of agent disrupts cell walls and inhibits bacterial enzymes, has poor substantivity, and decreases pathogenicity of biofilm?

a combination of thymo, eucalyptol, menthol, and methyl salicylate are available as brand and generic name products in what agent?

What agent is used for pts with OH difficulty, helps improve OH, adjunct for home care, and as a pre-procedural mouth rinse?

What agent is efficient in reducing biofilm and gingivitis?

burning sensation, bitter taste, must follow manufacturer instructions for use, and has a high alcohol content so must not be used by alcoholics, are considerations for what agent?

What agent has cationic agents that bind to oral tissue, ruptures cell walls and alters cytoplasm, has a strong initial attachment, decreases bacterial attachment to pellicles, and has low substantivity?

The most commonly used of this type of agent is CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride) 0.05%-0.07%; it reduces biofilm and is an adjunct for self care. What type of agent?

What type of agent is efficient in reducing biofilm and has a limit reduction in gingivitis?
