1. DENTAL CALCULUS: A STRATEGIC REVIEW: International Journal of Dental and Health Sciences, 2014; 1(5):788-795 (PDF)
“Calculus dissolution based oral rinse like Periogen® (Periogen Company-USA) with key ingredients of Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate (TKPP), Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP), Sodium Bicrbonate, Sodium Fluoride and Citric Acid seems to be potential oral rinse for suppressing the mineralization of dental plaque when used on regular basis as an adjunct to tooth brushing”
2. A Prospective Experimental Comparative Study on the Clinical Effects of Calculus Dissolution based Oral Rinse in Gingivitis Patients. International Journal of Experimental Dental Science, January-June 2015; 4(1):33-39 (PDF)
“The results of the present study are intriguing and should be interpreted from a clinical perspective. Dentist/hygienists should prescribe anticalculus oral rinse (Periogen®) between the professionally cleaning of teeth. This could be a practice that would decrease the bio load in the oral cavity specially the new calculus deposits that serves as reservoir to dental plaque”
