Abstract
A study to test the efficacy of two amine fluoride products in reducing the extent of plaque and the degree of gingivitis was conducted with 6th-grade school children in Pensacola, Florida. The treatment regimens consisted of a daily supervised mouthrinse at school and the ad libitum home use of a dentifrice. Examinations were conducted at 12-week and 20-week intervals after the treatment had begun. There was no recognizable difference between the plaque and gingival reductions achieved with the use of the amine fluoride dentifrice or mouthrinse when compared either with their inorganic counterparts or with placebo treatment vehiclesKeywords
