  • Title: Assessment of salivary Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts following sodium fluoride mouthrinsing in Egyptian children.
    Author: Waly NG.
    Journal: Egypt Dent J; 1995 Apr; 41(2):1179-88. PubMed ID: 9497654.
    Abstract:
    The salivary Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts were assessed in 100 Egyptian children, initially before mouthrinsing with 0.05% sodium fluoride solution, 24 hours and 48 hours following rinsing. A statistically significant reduction in Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts of 49% and 44% respectively was obtained 24 hours following rinsing. This percentage decrease in both bacterial counts was reduced to 27% and 31% respectively, 48 hours following rinsing.
