Henry Schein's Acclean Oral Rinse with 0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate is primarily used in dental and oral care settings for:

Treatment of Gingivitis: The main indication is to treat gingivitis, including reducing gum inflammation, bleeding, and plaque.
Before/After Dental Procedures: Often prescribed before certain dental procedures to reduce the bacterial load in the mouth and minimize the risk of infection, and after procedures (like scaling and root planing, or oral surgery) to aid in healing and prevent post-operative infections.
Managing Periodontal Disease: Used as an adjunct to professional periodontal therapy to help control bacterial plaque and inflammation in patients with periodontal disease.
Oral Hygiene for Compromised Patients: Can be prescribed for patients with compromised immune systems or those who have difficulty performing adequate mechanical plaque control (e.g., due to physical limitations, recent surgery, or certain medical conditions).
Prevention of Oral Infections: In specific cases, it may be used to help prevent oral infections, particularly in hospitalized patients or those undergoing certain medical treatments.
