alexidine has been researched along with Tooth Discoloration in 4 studies

alexidine: until June 1975 was mistakenly treated as synonym for chlorhexidine; RN given refers to parent cpd
alexidine : An amphipathic bisbiguanide with a structure consisting of two (2-ethylhexyl)guanide units linked by a hexamethylene bridge.

Tooth Discoloration: Any change in the hue, color, or translucency of a tooth due to any cause. Restorative filling materials, drugs (both topical and systemic), pulpal necrosis, or hemorrhage may be responsible. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p253)
