– The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the commercially available Veadent mouthwash and chlorhexidine on plaque formation. Plaque accumulating during two 5‐day periods was recorded in a group of 10 students. During the experimental periods, the test subjects abstained from mechanical cleaning of the teeth, and chewed sucrose‐containing chewing gum every 4th h in order to enhance plaque formation. They also rinsed with either chlorhexidine or Veadent twice a day according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Chlorhexidine mouthrinses resulted in significantly lower plaque scores than did Veadent in the present short‐term model study.
