摘要：
Introduction: Use of oral rinses or mouthwashes has been extensive since a very long time by the public. But the actual prevalence and knowledge regarding the usage is not much studied. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the general public, more than 18 years of age in Riyadh using an online survey. The closed-ended questionnaire consisted of information regarding demographics as well as use and awareness pertaining to mouthwashes. Results: A total of 1259 study participants responded to the survey, out of those males were 29% and females 71%. As far as the age groups were concerned, 31% belonged to 18-30 years, 37% to 31-45 years, 30% to 46-60 years and only 3% to 60 or more years. Conclusion: The mouthwash related knowledge was found to be satisfactory among the study participants.
