ABSTRACT

Several products have been evaluated to test their effect on dental plaque and gingivitis. Several studies indicate that tooth pastes with clorhexidine, stannous fluoride, and triclosan combined with co-polimer (polivinilmetileter/maleic acid) or zinc citrate, diminishes plaque and signs of gingivitis. The purpose of this study was to determine if a triclosan and zinc citrate commercial tooth paste is effective, for the reduction the gingival index. 100 patients between 12 and 15 years of age were selected. They were divided at random in two groups of 50 each one. At the beginning of the study all subjects received a tooth brushing technique, one of the groups received a tooth paste with triclosan with zinc citrate (experimental group) and the other was given a tooth paste with sodium monofluorophosphate and sodium fluoride (control group). Gingivitis measures using the Löe and Silness index were taken at the beginning of the study and after seven months. The average difference of the gingivitis index between the inicial and final measurements was of statistical significance. The difference in the reduction of gingivitis was assessed to be the triclosan with zinc citrate containing tooth paste.
