Inhibition of plaque growth with taurolin, vantocil and amine fluoride.
16 dental students rinsed daily with a placebo solution, Taurolin 2% (formaldehyde releasing antimicrobial), Vantocil 0.1% (polybiguanide), and with amine fluoride 0.025%. Depression of plaque growth assess with the Sulcular Plaque Index was 50.6, 40.2 and 21.5%, respectively.
