Abstract

Antibacterial activities of modern antiseptics listerine, myramistine, cidipol, octenisept, tantum verde, matecide, and rautine drugs chlorhexidine and dioxidine are compared. The prospects of their use in dentistry for the treatment of inflammations associated with anaerobes are discussed. Metacide, listerine, chlorhexidine, and dioxidine are characterized by the widest spectrum of activity towards obligate anaerobic bacteria; moreover, these drugs inhibit bacterial growth when used in lower concentrations than other drugs.
