Antimicrobial mouthwashes are considered to reduce dental plaque biofilm and thus the potential to prevent plaque-induced oral diseases, particularly periodontal diseases. The effectiveness of mouthwashes relates to this antiplaque role, as well as, their tooth-whitening potential and ability to mask/mange malodour (halitosis). There is also a growing interest in the use of mouthwashes as an adjunctive measure in post surgical and post-dental care, while the COVID-19 pandemic has given a new lease of life to mouthwashes as an oral antispetic that may be useful in reducing the oral viral load. The mode of action of mouthwashes varies, depending on their active ingredients, concentrations, and mode and frequency of use, as does their potential effectiveness. This article aims to provide a narrative overview of the evidence of the effectiveness of the most widely used mouthwashes in managing oral diseases, oral conditions, and adjunctive care roles.
抗菌漱口水被认为可以减少牙菌斑生物膜，从而有潜力预防由菌斑引起的口腔疾病，特别是牙周疾病。漱口水的有效性与其抗菌斑作用相关，还与其牙齿美白潜力以及掩盖/控制口臭（口臭）的能力相关。漱口水在手术后和牙科护理后的辅助治疗中的应用也越来越受到关注，而 COVID-19 大流行则赋予了漱口水作为口腔抗菌剂的新活力，这可能有助于降低口腔病毒载量。漱口水的作用模式因活性成分、浓度以及使用方式和频率的不同而不同，其潜在效果也因之而异。本文旨在对最广泛使用的漱口水在管理口腔疾病、口腔状况和辅助治疗作用方面的有效性证据进行叙述性综述。
