[In vitro bacteriocidal activity of 5 oral antiseptics against the principal microorganisms implicated in oral disease].

Bactericidal activities of five mouthrinses containing cetylpyridinium chloride, hexetidine or chlorhexidine have been tested in vitro, against the main microorganisms involved in buccal affections. Mouthrinses containing hexetidine or chlorhexidine are effective, but chlorhexidine activity appears more extensive and homogeneous.
