Two-hundred and fourteen subjects ranging in age from 22 to 63 years used either a mouthwash that contained 0.035% w/v alexidine· 2HCl (2-ethylhexyl bisbiguanidine dihydrochloride) or a placebo twice daily on a double-blind basis for six months in conjunction with routine oral hygiene procedures. The results indicated that alexidine·2HCl was safe and was statistically more effective in producing a clinically significant reduction in gingivitis than was the placebo.
