Purpose: Plaque control is most important for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and SPT. This time, clinical effects of a newly developed mouth rinse (MMX-3) on the control of plaque accumulation and the prevention of gingivitis were examined. Materials & Methods: A total of 60 subjects who were office workers in a medicine manufacturing company were enrolled in this study. For a period of 4 months, the subjects in the test group rinsed with MMX-3 and those in the control group rinsed with only the basis material of MMX-3 and the commercia group rinsed with Listerine^<TM>. All subject continued their normal home oral hygiene practices and used mouse rinses twice or three times a day. Subjects underwent identical examination to determine their plaque index and gingival index. Results: There were significant differences (p<0.05) in plaque index and gingival index between the test and control groups. However, there was no significant difference in plaque index or gingival index between the test and commercial rinse groups. The results suggested that the newly developed mouth rinse was useful for the control of plaque accumulation and the prevention of gingivitis. The mouth rinse has the same effects on the control of plaque accumulation and the prevention of gingivitis compared with a commercial rinse (Listerine^<TM>).
