Activity of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Loaded at Varying Polyelectrolyte Multilayers against Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans

Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) has a bactericidal effect to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) which causes periodontal disease. Therefore the controlled loading and release of CHX from multilayer thin film is beneficial for the local treatment of periodontitis. This study used ten bilayers o...
