Abstract
Bactericidal compositions and methods include the use of a peroxide and a peroxidase in a defined area such as the mouth to rapidly and efficiently kill bacteria. Donor molecules are transformed into bactericidal free radicals which carry out the desired action. The compositions and methods are particularly effective in alleviating gingival disease and periodontal disease.
