Patient Resources
Download comprehensive guides and instructions for Chlorine Dioxide periodontal therapy. These resources are designed to help you understand your treatment, prepare properly, and achieve the best possible outcomes.

Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂)
- • Excellent biofilm penetration
- • Strong EPS breakdown
- • Target specificity for thiol groups
- • Mild taste, safe at low ppm
- • Strong anaerobic efficacy
Chlorhexidine
- • Poor biofilm penetration
- • Limited EPS breakdown
- • Non-selective action
- • Bitter taste, staining issues
- • Reduced anaerobic efficacy
NaOCl (Bleach)
- • Moderate biofilm penetration
- • Non-specific EPS breakdown
- • Highly cytotoxic
- • Irritating to tissues
- • Moderate anaerobic efficacy

This comparison highlights the key differences between consumer-focused chlorine dioxide products (CloSYS, TheraBreath) and DioxiCare's clinically-focused active chlorine dioxide delivery system. DioxiCare is specifically designed for biofilm disruption, pathogen management, and integration with salivary diagnostics and advanced periodontal protocols.

This educational resource clarifies the critical distinctions between different chlorine dioxide products available in oral healthcare. Understanding these differences is essential for achieving true biofilm disruption and pathogen management, rather than just addressing surface-level concerns like fresh breath.
