What is the protocol with Chlorhexidine Gluconate and MI Paste?
It is suggested to wait 2 – 3 hours after rinsing with antimicrobial rinses, such as chlohexidine gluconate (CHX) or cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) before applying MI Paste. Chlorhexidine gluconate adheres to the tooth surface just as MI Paste. Mark spoke with Dr. Ngo and they are not sure of the interaction. So it is best to wait 2 – 3 hours before applying MI Paste after rinsing with CHX.
