Chemical Plaque Control Agents And Its Uses In Preventing Periodontal Disease – A Systematic Approach

Dental plaque adheres to the numerous hard surfaces in the mouth and is extremely difficult to remove just by rinsing. The complex plaque structure is responsible for a variety of periodontal illnesses, so plaque removal should be done on a regular basis to maintain proper dental hygiene. The cornerstone for disrupting plaque accumulation is mechanical debridement.In individuals with severe periodontal disease, chemical plaque control treatments can be used as a supplement to mechanical plaque control. This article will examine the various chemical plaque control agents and their applications.
