A mouthwash or toothpaste containing chlorhexidine gluconate was used to treat spontaneous or provoked bacterial plaque, primary or postoperative secondary gingivitis, and aphthae in 74 male and female subjects (mean age: 37 yr). As observed by other authors the antiseptic was very effective in the prevention of plaque, the healing or primary gingivitis, and the cicatrisation of surgical wounds. It also accelerated the regression of recurrent aphthae.
