| Popis: | To evaluate the contamination level of toothbrushes by mutans streptococci (MS) and the efficacy of antimicrobial solutions: cetylpyridinium chloride 0.05 % (CPC; Cepacol™) and chlorhexidine 0.12 % (CHX; Periogard™), to disinfect toothbrushes of preschool-aged children in day-care centers. Fifty-two children were randomly divided into three groups, and a three-stage changeover system was used with a 1-week interval between each stage. Solutions were used by a different group of children in each stage. Children were submitted to a 1 minute brushing without dentifrice, performed by a professional calibrated, followed by random spraying over the bristles of brushes.

Friedman's test at 5 % significance level revealed difference between the antimicrobial solutions (p |
