The efficacy of mouthwashes on oral microorganisms and gingivitis in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe
short-term application of fluoride mouthwashes may reduce the colony
counts of cariogenic bacteria, but the long-term effect is not evident.
Chlorhexidine may reduce the colony counts of multiple microorganisms in
the short-term. Short-term application Chlorhexidine and herbal
mouthwashes may effectively reduce plaque- and gingival
inflammation-related indexes. However, the risk of bias, inconsistency,
and imprecision in the included studies may reduce the certainty of the
evidence. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Gum health and quality of life —subjective experiences from across the gum health-disease continuum in adults
Conclusion Findings demonstrate the range of experiences from p articipants with a variety of gum-related symptoms; notably, gingivitis was reported to have a range of perceived impacts on quality of life alongside those reported by periodontal disease sufferers. Future work should look to include symptoms from across the entire gum health-disease continuum when considering quality of life, as well as considering a more patient-centred approach which could be valuable in both clinical and research settings.
