This study evaluated<br>the anti-caries and anti-plaque efficacy of a dentifrice containing sodium monofluorophosphate<br>(1000 ppm) and calcium glycerophosphate, and compared it with a non-fluoridated dentifrice.<br><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> A total of 595 school children (12–15 years) were divided into test (302<br>children) and control (293 children) groups. The test group used the dentifrice containing sodium<br>monofluorophosphate (1000 ppm) and calcium glycerophosphate, whereas the control group was<br>given a placebo dentifrice. Oral examination for dental caries and plaque assessment was carried<br>out at the start of the study and the children were followed up semiannually up to 18 months. Data<br>were analyzed using repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by one-way ANOVA.<br><strong>Results:</strong> The values for decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) increased from baseline to 18 month<br>examination from 4.43±2.03 and 4.67±2.25 (P=0.175) to 5.84±2.29 and 5.13±2.30 (P=0.001) for<br>control and test groups, respectively. Similarly, the increase in decayed missing filled surface (DMFS)<br>values were from 6.42±4.10 and 7.06±4.77 (P=0.082) to 8.64±4.51 and 7.92±5.07 (P=0.095) for<br>test and control groups, respectively. The mean DMFT and DMFS values increased for both the<br>groups however, the increase was less in test group as compared to control group. The baseline<br>plaque score reduced from 2.94±0.72 and 2.91±0.72 (P=0.679), respectively, for control and test<br>groups to 1.33±0.46 and 0.91±0.38 (P<0.001), respectively, at 18 month examination.<br><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Results revealed that the test dentifrice was effective in inhibiting the progression of<br>plaque and control of dental caries as compared to the placebo dentifrice.</p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source:</strong> Dental Research Journal</p><p><a href="http://www.drj.mui.ac.ir/index.php/drj/article/view/898"><font color="#0000ff"> Full text</font></a> </p> Dentifrice, sodium monofluorophosphate, calcium glycerophosphate 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-382&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Satyawan G.
