Popis: Background: Our research group has recently reported that exogenously applied histatins can inhibit plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation in a preclinical canine model (Paquette et al. 1997). Objectives: The aims of the present double-blinded, randomized, controlled clinical trial were to evaluate the safety and toxicity of three histatin (P-113) concentrations in gel formulations, and to assess potential clinical benefit on the development of gingivitis (partial mouth design). Material and methods: One hundred and six healthy subjects were recruited and brought to optimal gingival health (GI
