The antimicrobial properties of two commonly used antiseptic mouthwashes--Corsodyl and Oraldene.
The antimicrobial activities of the mouthwashes Corsodyl and Oraldene against common buccal organisms were essentially similar. The concentration of the active substance in the two mouthwashes was well in excess of the minimum inhibitory concentrations determined. Also a rapid lethal effect on the bacteria was found which, when combined with the previous property, may well account for the usefulness of these products in infectious conditions.
