Sanitisation of toothbrushes with this mouthwash reduces the number of live microorganisms adhered to the filament suggests a recent study published in the International Journal of Dental Hygiene
Toothbrushes are colonised by microorganisms, implying a risk of infection. That risk can be reduced by decreasing the microbial contamination of the filaments. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the antiseptic efficacy of a 0.05% chlorhexidine + 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash on toothbrushes.
