The combination of Chlorhexidine Digluconate (CHX), professional reference for plaque control and Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), included in GUM Paroex products, has the long-lasting ability to attack the structure of existing plaque and prevent the growth of bacteria and toxins responsible for its formation.

The superior efficacy of GUM Paroex in the plaque control was proven by an independent study* with the following results:

  • GUM PAROEX 12% CHX + 0.05% CPC is clinically proven to have a more pronounced effect in reducing plaque (vs. CHX/ADS) and gum problems than other usual mouthrinses containing CHX (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
  • The clinical efficacy of GUM PAROEX 12% CHX + 0.05% CPC is significantly superior to 0.12% CHX/ALC in controlling gum problems (Fig. 1).
  • 20% CHX/ADS efficacy is comparable to a 0.05% Sodium Fluoride mouthrinse, without any active antibacterial agent (Placebo) (Fig. 1).
  • GUM PAROEX 12% CHX + 0.05% CPC clinical efficacy in helping control gum problems is significantly superior to 0.20% CHX/ADS (Fig. 1).
  • The taste of GUM PAROEX 0.12% CHX + 0.05% CPC is well-accepted and significantly better than 0.12% CHX/ALC and 0.20% CHX/ADS formulation. This promotes better patient compliance to treatment (Fig. 3).
  • The staining of GUM PAROEX 0.12% CHX + 0.05% CPC is equivalent to the staining produced by 0.12% CHX/ALC or 0.20% CHX/ADS based on subjective patient evaluation (Fig 4).
