  • Title: Rationale for the daily use of a dentifrice containing triclosan in the maintenance of oral health.
    Author: DeVizio W, Davies R.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2004 Jul; 25(7 Suppl 1):54-7. PubMed ID: 15645887.
    Abstract:
    This paper provides an overview and summary of the data that demonstrate the effectiveness of a dentifrice containing triclosan/copolymer/fluoride in significantly reducing plaque, calculus, gingivitis, and the onset and progression of periodontitis. The caries-preventive benefit of the triclosan/copolymer/fluoride dentifrice was at least as good as that of a fluoride dentifrice. No evidence of bacterial resistance or the development of pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria was observed.
