The Decreased of Germs Number Before and After Gargling with Povidone - Iodine by Diah Lestari, Liandry Dea Dwi Ananda, Heru Setiawan, Tri Prasetyorini

“…The higher the concentration of antiseptic, the smaller the time needed to kill microbes, but the maximum limit of concentration and contact time needs to be considered to minimize the toxicity effects to remain safe, effective, and efficient. This study aims to determine the comparison of germ numbers before and after gargling with povidone-iodine mouthwash based on variations in the concentration of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1% with variations in contact time of 15 and 30 seconds. …”
