Abstract
Abstract: Mouthwashes are medicated solutions used for gargling and rinsing the mouth. Many oral conditions require the use of a mouthwash, which can vary from oral malodour to periodontal disease to treatment of secondary infections like oral mucositis. A mouthwash may be recommended as an antimicrobial, a topical anti-inflammatory agent, a topical analgesic or for caries prevention. Many different mouthwashes are available now a day. Selection of an appropriate mouthwash depends on patient’s oral condition, disease risk and efficiency and safety of mouthwash. The main objective of this review is to help the oral health care professionals to make the correct selection of mouthwash while dealing with different conditions of oral cavity. Keywords: Mouthwash, Oral condition.
