Description

Mouthwash is generally used for the treatment and prevention of colds or other oral diseases, and its effectiveness is well known. But the proper way to use it has not been discussed sufficiently, many patients gargle in self-prescribed ways. Therefore we researched how patients were gargling with Gargle of Povidone Iodine and compared their methods with a currently recommended manual. As a result, it was found that many patients were gargling with mouthwash 3-6 times as diluted as the prescription in a short time. And it was also found that they gargled in a way mouthwash rinsed only their throat. These facts show that the mechanical rinsing and sterilization of gargling has not worked effectively. We discovered some problems in the current manual through our research. These results gave good information to“the establishing an effective method of gargling” that was our purpose.
