    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect of a 0.1% cetylpyridinium chloride(CPC) rinse on the treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis. METHODS: A multicenter, randomized, parallel group trial was conducted. The eligible patients were divided randomly into two groups. Subjects were assessed at the beginning and the end of a two-week period during which they rinsed with 0.1% CPC or complex hibitane in addition to their usual oral hygiene procedures. The variation of PLI, SBI, GI, PD, pain, halitosis and adverse effects were observed before and after investigation. RESULTS: After 14 days of treatment, in the CPC group, the decreasing rate of PLI was 63.0%, the effective rate for gingivitis and periodontitis were 83.3%, 36.7% respectively, while those periodontal indices of control group were 49.5%, 50% and 16.7%. After statistical analysis, the CPC group had significantly higher effective rates on gingivitis than the hibitane group (P < 0.01), at the same time, the effective rate was significantly different between two groups on periodontitis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of 0.1% CPC rinse is effective in treating periodontal diseases.
