Can Chemical Mouthwash Agents Achieve Plaque/Gingivitis Control?

The summarized evidence suggests that mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine(CHX) and essential oils (EO) had a large effect supported by a strong body of evidence.

No difference between CHX and EO with respect to gingivitis was observed. (Source: Dental Clinics of North America)
