Zusammenfassung:	A composition which contains thymol and eugenol and, where appropriate, a sesquiterpene alcohol such as farnesol has been found to counteract plaque and gingivitis. It may contain flavourings in order to provide an organoleptically acceptable product which can be used orally. It has been found that oil from the Australian tea tree, sage oil and eucalyptol increased the antiplaque and antigingivitis effect of mouthwashes which have been formulated from these compositions. These compositions show an antibacterial effect against A. viscosus of about 25 MIC or less.
