Popis:	Chlorhexidine is one of the most widely and commonly used antiplaque and antigingivitis agent. Chlorhexidine is a potent antibacterial substance but this alone does not explain its antiplaque action. Once adsorbed, and unlike some other antiseptics, chlorhexidine shows a persistent bacteriostatic action lasting in excess of 12 hours. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out in 40 patients to evaluate and compare the short term side effects of 0.2% and 0.12% chlorhexidine. Pain, burning sensation, taste disturbance were evaluated at first, third and Seventh day Results: No statistical significant difference was observed in two groups with respect to these side effects. Conclusion: However, the taste of 0.12% was better accepted as compared to 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash. Keywords: Antigingivitis, Chlorhexidine.
