Overview

Zinc chloride is an inorganic chemical compound widely utilized in oral care products for its therapeutic properties. It functions as an active ingredient in dentifrices and mouthwashes to promote dental enamel remineralization, reduce oral malodor, and exert antibacterial effects against various oral microorganisms. Its mechanism involves inhibiting bacterial growth and metabolism, as well as influencing the formation and stability of dental mineral structures. Beyond oral health, zinc chloride also serves as a negative control in neurobiological research, such as studies investigating the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, to distinguish the effects of other heavy metals.
