Resumen

LORCA-SALANER, Amparo  y  CARRASQUER-BURGUESA, Assumpta. Local effect of alcohol containing mouthwash: review of the literature. RCOE [online]. 2005, vol.10, n.4, pp.407-412. ISSN 1138-123X.

Alcohol has formed part of the formula in mouthwashes for more than 50 years. Like other bases it is not exempt from side effects mainly due to its effects on epithelial cells. This is why its use is contraindicated for patients with epithelial mucosa damage. Recently it has been suggested that alcoholcontaining mouthwash has a possible effect on the development oral cancer lesions. The revision of the available literature on the subject shows us that the majority of the research is very limited and there is no evidence for an existing link between the use of mouthwash with alcohol and the development of cancerogenic lesions. The FDA, the ADA and the NCI accept alcohol as a safe component of the formula in mouthwashes.
