8. The urgent need for research
Many questions need to be addressed in relation to whether oral hygiene could represent a viable approach to dampen transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and research is required to address this.
In relation to oral hygiene, we need to determine:
• Can we reduce viral load in the oropharynx through oral rinsing?
• If we can reduce load, then which oral rinse would be clinically effective: The current choice includes 20-30 % ethanol, lipid-based membrane disruptors, PVP-1, CPC, hydrogen peroxide, simple chlorinated tap water or WHO formulation I diluted to 30% of neat?
• Would a combination of agents in lower amounts be better tolerated, reducing adverse effects, and remain effective?
• What combinations or agents, contact time and frequency of use would induce anti-viral activity and reduce infectivity of SARS-CoV-2

tl;dr - early days yet, might be useful, needs more research

We buy packs of 6 from Costco, so no worries...
