Abstract:
The use of subgingival irrigation systems for the control of oral infections is an attractive possibility. The main advantage would seem to be that it would provide a means of delivering therapeutic agents to sites otherwise inaccessible to the effects of mouthrinses. Much research has therefore concentrated on the methods of delivery and the agents so delivered. The effects of various trials on individuals with good and poor oral hygiene and using a variety of different agents is reviewed.
