Comparing Mouth Rinses (and Chewing Gum) in Regard to Streptococcus Mutans Reduction
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelBasic science
Summary
This study compared four mouth rinses/chews for their ability to reduce Streptococcus Mutans after usage. The four that were compared were chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%), sodium fluoride (0.05%), paraffin wax chewing gum (sugar free), and deionized water. The paraffin wax chewing gum replaced the originally planned coconut oil and served as a placebo comparator.
