Not much: They work the same way, one product has a slight difference in chemical structure.

Chlorhexadine: From researching this question it seems that the active ingredient in the dental rinse is Chlorhexidine gluconate the reference to the digluconate appears in the Periochip form. I do not see the digluconate as the active ingredient in the products we use in dentistry.

I believe: Chlorhexidine gluconate (peridex, etc) is the preferred formulation (typically as a 0.12% solution rinse). The digluconate version is typically available in stronger concentrations, and probably have an application, but not used in my practice.

Yes: Chlorhexidine digluconate is a much stronger antimicrobial than the gluconate form.
