Abstract
Objectives:
The purpose of this study is to compare the
clinical, antibacterial and microbiological effects of the non-fluoride and
fluoride toothpastes.
Materials and Methods: In
this study eighty children (3 to 12 years old) were divided into four groups
and followed for four weeks. First and second groups (40 children, 6-12 years)
used different fluoride toothpastes; third and fourth groups (40 children, 3-5
years) used nonfluoride toothpastes. The halitosis score,
plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index, buffering capacities,
Mutans Streptococci, Lactobacilli and
yeast counts were recorded on 1st day, 7th
day, 15th day and 30th day. First and second
group; third and fourth group were compared with each other. Data were analyzed
statistically by using Mann Whitney U tests, Wilcoxon Sign Test, Fisher Freeman
Halton Exact Test and Mc Nemar Test with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results:
Statistically significant association was not found in the mean scores of
halitosis, gingival index, plaque index, bleeding index, buffering capacity, Mutans Streptococci, Lactobacilli and
yeast (p>0.05), between groups on first day. All four
toothpastes produced statistically significant reductions from 1st day to 30th
days in scores of halitosis, plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index and buffering
capacity (p<0.01; p<0.05), within groups. Statistically significant
reductions was found according to in Mutans Streptococci, counts
from 1st day to 30th day for group 1, 2 and 3 (p<0.05); but was not found
statistically significant changes in group 4 on the 30th days(p>0.05).
Conclusion:
All tested toothpastes proved to be safe and
significantly effective clinical and microbiological features.
