Abstract
The method of treating and controlling gingivitis and related periodontal diseases of the gingival tissue. The method includes contacting the diseased gingival tissue with a mouthwash. The mouthwash is a liquefied composition of 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of a fatty salt prepared from an unsubstituted, unsaturated fatty acid having at least one double bond and from an alkali metal or an alkali metal compound or an alkali metal basic compound, a liquid carrier, an effective amount of a buffering agent and an effective amount of ethanol. The pH of the liquefied composition is between 8 and 11. The preferred mouthwash contains about 5 percent of sodium oleate, about 1.5 percent of ethanol, enough disodium hydrogen phosphate to adjust the pH to about 9.8 and the remainder water.
