Study Shows CPC Mouthrinse Reduces Salivary SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load, Implications for Dental Professionals

Posted: December 9, 2024
A recent study evaluated the effectiveness of mouthrinses in reducing salivary viral load of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the potential for mitigating transmission in dental settings. Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthrinse significantly decreased viral load at 30 minutes post-rinse compared to other rinses. This indicates that preprocedural rinsing with CPC could be a cost-effective strategy to reduce virus transmission in dental clinics. The study underscores the importance of implementing oral rinses to minimize viral spread during clinical procedures involving the mouth and throat.
