Denture stomatitis, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis are the growing problems in restorative dentistry. Chemicals play an important role as an adjuvant to mechanical cleaning of teeth, implants, surrounding tissues, and prostheses. Current mouth rinses are reported to affect the tissues and prostheses if used on a long-term basis. Sodium bicarbonate, the common baking soda, has been reported to be versatile. A search of the resources through Medline and Google Scholar was made to understand the current status of the mouth rinses and the use of sodium bicarbonate. Different MeSH and search criteria were used for the different search engines. Baking soda, being a common household item, with its ready availability, safety, minimal abrasivity, and bactericidal property makes it a patient-friendly mouthwash, component in the dentifrice, or chewing gum, which can be used on a long-term basis as an adjunct virtually free of any side effects.
义齿性口炎、牙周炎和种植体周围炎是口腔修复学中日益突出的问题。化学物质作为辅助机械清洁牙齿、种植体、周围组织和修复体的手段发挥着重要作用。据报道，目前的漱口水如果长期使用会影响组织和修复体。碳酸氢钠，即常见的小苏打，据报道具有多种用途。通过医学在线数据库（Medline）和谷歌学术搜索资源，以了解漱口水的现状以及碳酸氢钠的使用情况。针对不同的搜索引擎使用了不同的医学主题词（MeSH）和搜索标准。小苏打作为一种常见的家居用品，随时可得，安全，磨损性极小且具有杀菌特性，使其成为一种对患者友好的漱口水、牙膏成分或口香糖，可长期作为辅助用品使用，几乎没有任何副作用。
