“…Whereas dentifrice consumption in this population was high at both time‐points, the percentage of households using more than one tube of dentifrice per month decreased from 81.2% in 1996 to 61.2% in 2009. In contrast, self‐reported use of mouthwash increased from 11.4% in 1996 to 24.2% in 2009 and dental floss use increased from 49.6% in 1996 to 62.2% in 2009. Socio‐economic factors were significantly associated with the use of oral hygiene products, with subjects of higher socio‐economic and educational status having an increased tendency for higher consumption of dentifrice, dental floss and mouthwash.…”

A decade has passed since we first reviewed the epidemiology of periodontal diseases in Latin America. At that time, lack of population-based studies was the norm and our conclusions were based on very limited evidence. The aim of the present comprehensive review was to update and expand our previous work by providing a broad overview of Latin America and its current social, economic and demographic status and by focusing on the epidemiology of periodontal diseases in Latin American adults published in the last 15 years. The amount of periodontal epidemiological data available has increased but is still restricted to a few countries only. The scope of the literature available has also broadened to include oral health-related quality of life and systemic interactions; however, most studies had methodological limitations that might have biased their results. In general, periodontitis was very prevalent, but severe periodontal destruction was localized. Besides being associated with well-established risk factors, periodontitis was associated with demographics and socio-economic factors in Latin American populations. To advance epidemiological knowledge, population-based cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, using appropriate methodologies, should be the future focus of the research agenda of researchers and public health planners in Latin American countries.

“…The results are different if compared to a Brazilian study explored factors affecting the self-reported use of mouthwashes which reported higher probabilities for using mouthwash in a higher income group. [13] This could be due to the high number of student respondents (44.5%) aged between 18 and 25 years old in this study that use mouthwash most probably bought by their parents. The insignificant results (P > 0.05) obtained however indicated that the frequency of mouthwash use is not affected by income, age, race, marital status, and gender.…”

The purpose of the current research is to comprehend the use as well as the perception of mouthwash benefits among Malaysian adults in Selangor state, Malaysia. Materials and Methods: Questionnaires were distributed following convenience sampling to 400 respondents in public places around Selangor over a period of 3 months. The questions were divided into 4 main categories which were demographics, behavior, knowledge, and perceived benefits. The data collected were entered into PASW version 20 and analyzed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Chi-square was used to compute the association between the variables. Results: The majority of the respondents (n = 178, 44.5%) were between the ages of 18-25 years. Female respondents outnumbered males with 243 (60.8%) and 157 (39.3%), respectively. There was a high level of awareness among the respondents regarding the use of mouthwash where more than 57% answered the knowledge questions correctly. When asked for the reason for using a particular brand, respondents stated that their selection depends on it being "a family brand", affordability and taste. Respondents had a good perception on the use of mouthwash and its benefits. Conclusion: The public needs to be educated on the role of mouthwash. Knowledge gaps on mouthwash need to be bridged to ascertain the beneficial nature of mouthwash. A mixed method research is recommended to gather more information on oral hygiene practices among Malaysian general population, particularly focusing on the use of mouthwash.
