A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE USE OF A STANNOUS FLUORIDE MOUTHWASH IN A SCHOOL PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY PROGRAM.

Abstract

A 0.1% stannous fluoride mouthwash was tested on 168 children divided into two balanced groups. The control group rinsed daily with a placebo mouthwash, and the test group rinsed daily with a 0.1% stannous fluoride mouthwash prepared fresh each day. The period of treatment extended from 1 January to 30 May 1966. A daily stannous fluoride mouthwash can be administered in the school system and supervised by classroom teachers. There was a reduction of 33% in carious teeth and 30.5% in carious surfaces in the group using the stannous fluoride mouthwash. This reduction was not statistically significant. (Author)
