Abstract
A method for preventing oral diseases caused by dental biofilm and plaque accumulation, such as gingivitis and periodontitis by application of a single-phase stabilized chlorine dioxide composition at a concentration range of about 0.005% to about 0.800% (w/v) at a pH in the range of 6.0 to 7.4. The bactericidal properties of stabilized chlorine dioxide include reduction (kill) of anaerobic/aerobic/facultative gram-negative and gram-positive oral bacteria occurring in plaque or polymicrobial biofilms. The composition may be in the form of wash, rinse, soak, paste, gel, aerosol spray, or other suitable delivery system.
