Evaluation of the Effect of Antibacterial Toothpastes Containing Chlorhexidine and Amine Fluoride on Oral Flora in Patients Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment—A Randomised Controlled Trial
While there were no significant differences observed in BOP, GI, and S. mutans levels and changes in IgA and IgE values between toothpastes containing CHX and AF, the PI index of CHX-containing toothpastes exhibited a notably lower level. Both AF- and CHX-containing toothpastes can be used for managing biofilm, controlling bacteria, and minimising gingivitis in subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.
