Popis: The effect of SnF2 and NaF mouthrinses were compared in subjects initially selected because of their high caries prevalence and high levels of salivary S. mutans. Subjects rinsed twice a day with either SnF2 or NaF (200 ppm F-). Subjects in both groups continued to be caries active during the course of the study. However, at the first year examination subjects rinsing with SnF2 had less S. mutans/ml saliva, a lower caries incidence and less gingivitis. After 2 yr the S. mutans levels in the SnF2 rinsing group remained significantly less. Both caries incidence and gingivitis were lower in the SnF2 group after 2 yr but the difference was not significant.
