Abstract
The bactericidal method of the invention comprises forming a bactericide having a limited period of bacteriological activity with the bactericide including; a peroxide, a peroxidase and a source of donor molecules adapted to act as a substrate for said peroxidase; activating the bactericide to cause a catalyzed reaction by said peroxidase for generating free radicals from said source of donor molecules and simultaneously applying the bactericide for killing bacteria in the treatment of dental disease in situ such as in the oral cavity or as a denture cleaner.
