Study of Growing Biofilm by an Antiplaque Mouthrinse

Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of a new mouthrinse on dental plaque deposits. The study is carried out on 50 volunteers that are asked to use the mouthrinse without any other oral hygiene measure, during 4 days. It is a double bind, cross-over, randomized design: the same subjects test the active product and the placebo.
