Recommend a rinse with deeper plaque biofilm penetration than CPC

LISTERINE® ANTISEPTIC PENETRATES PLAQUE BIOFILM DEEPER THAN CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE (CPC)

Recommend a rinse with deeper plaque biofilm penetration: (confocal microscopy of living biofilm cells [green] and dead biofilm cells [red] at deepest layer).1
