Bactericidal and bacteriostatic action: The gel's dual action destroys bacteria by disrupting their cell membrane and prevents their multiplication by interfering with their metabolism.

Optimal concentration for enhanced efficacy: Chlorex gel's specific concentration ensures superior antimicrobial effectiveness and substantivity compared to lower concentration gels or liquid forms.

Inhibition of metalloproteinases: By inhibiting metalloproteinases, Chlorex gel preserves the integrity of the root canal walls, preventing the degradation of vital components such as collagen and dentin.

Chemical stability and odorless formulation: Chlorex gel maintains its chemical stability, ensuring its effectiveness over time. It is also odorless, providing a more pleasant experience for patients and clinicians.

Water-soluble and non-staining: The gel easily dissolves in water, facilitating its application during endodontic procedures. It does not stain clothes, minimizing any potential inconvenience.

Lower cytotoxicity compared to NaOCl: Chlorex gel exhibits a lower cytotoxicity than sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), making it safer for surrounding tissues and cells while maintaining its antimicrobial potency.
