Plaque inhibition and staining by hibitane and vantocil.
In a first 2-day experiment, inhibitions of plaque formation by 0.05% Hibitane and Vantocil rinses were similar. In a second 7-day test, the same 2 antimicrobials again showed similar degrees of plaque depression. The Vantocil group exhibited significantly more severe tooth surface staining than the Hibitane group.
