Abstract
HOCl was tested against a range of bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Comparisons were made over a range of tests with NaOCl ("bleach") and other dental antiseptics. The authors conclude that "HOCl solution could be used as a potential mouthwash to reduce gingivitis and plaque, or as a root canal irrigant and in the treatment of peri-implantitis".
