Effect of oral antiseptics on the viral load of SARS-CoV-2: A randomized controlled trial

Dental and Medical Problems

In the light of the data obtained in this study, there is insufficient evidence that gargling with HClO or PVP-I reduces viral load. Taken together, these findings imply no role for antiseptics in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by the aerosol generated during dental procedures, or more generally, SARS-CoV-2 infection control.
