Chlorhexidine varnishes offer advantages over traditional formulations for preventing dental caries. These varnishes show promise as a preventive and therapeutic approach, especially for high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Dental Pharmacology

Context:

  • Chlorhexidine has been a widely used surface antiseptic in dentistry since the 1950s.
  • Recent advancements include chlorhexidine-containing varnishes, offering new delivery methods.

Purpose:

  • To review the existing literature on the application of two specific chlorhexidine varnishes (Cervitec and EC40) in various dental fields.
  • To evaluate the potential benefits of chlorhexidine varnishes in caries prevention and management.

Summary:

  • Chlorhexidine varnishes present distinct advantages compared to conventional chlorhexidine formulations.
  • They are considered valuable for preventing fissure and approximal caries, potentially augmenting established preventive strategies.
  • Varnish application may serve as a significant preventive and therapeutic option for individuals susceptible to root surface caries.
