  • Title: The effect of daily mouthrinsing with stannous fluoride on dental plaque and gingivitis--four-month results.
    Author: Leverett DH, McHugh WD, Jensen OE.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1981 Apr; 60(4):781-4. PubMed ID: 6937514.
    Abstract:
    This clinical trial of a daily 0.1% SnF2 mouthrinse involved over 400 children, from 12 to 15 years of age. With 0.05% NaF as the active control, rinsing was conducted daily for four mo after baseline examinations. Four-month examinations showed significantly lower Plaque Index scores for the SnF2 group. Gingival Index scores for the SnF2 group were lower, but did not reach statistical significance.
