title: [Plaque and gingivitis reduction by an amine fluoride/stannous fluoride combination].
abstract: A clinical study on children has demonstrated that the accumulation of plaque and the development of experimental gingivitis can be reduced by a daily mouthrinse with AmF/SnF2. Low, reversible yellowish tooth staining can almost be prevented by mechanical oral hygiene. The efficacy of AmF/SnF2 was nearly the same as chlorhexidine and the F combination can be recommended for preventive plaque control, especially on high-risk patients.
