[Effect of a sanguinarine mouthwash on children with and without upper extremity motor handicap].
A survey was done at the Center of Child Readaptation at Flavigny (Meurthe-et-Moselle) to determine the effect of a mouth rinse containing 0.03% sanguinaria extract, on the plaque accumulation and gingivitis of 30 children 8 to 17 years old. 13 children had a motricity handicap of their superior members and 17 did not. All subjects rinsed their mouths twice with 15 ml of solution each time. The mouth rinses were performed in the morning and in the evening during three weeks. The children were photographed and examined using the P1I and GI indices on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 35. No statistical significant difference was observed at any moment between children with or without handicapped upper limbs. After 3 weeks of treatment the Plaque Index had decreased 47.3% and Gingival Index 55.6%.
