AIM: To study the effects of an application of @entity1216 varnish (40%) on dental plaque. DESIGN: Randomised controlled clinical trial. SUBJECTS: 40 @entity1 (50% females), aged 25-34 years after undergoing any necessary restorative treatment. Exactly one half of these individuals practiced good oral hygiene, the efforts of the others were poor. METHOD: Test groups received a @entity1216 varnish application, the control group received a placebo varnish. Initially and after 2 and 6 weeks, a modified Dentocult SM-test, @entity548 on probing, and a plaque index (Quigley-Hein) were recorded. RESULTS: In contrast to the control group, improvements in plaque index and @entity548 on probing scores were found in @entity1 with poor oral hygiene. The results of the Dentocult SM-tests showed a considerable reduction of @entity6586 colonisation. The test group with good oral hygiene showed only slight improvement of the examined indices after @entity1216 application. The index parameters of all @entity1 of the placebo groups remained unchanged over the examination time period. CONCLUSION: The application of a @entity1216 varnish reduced the quantity of the @entity6586 colonies significantly and improved clinical parameters in @entity1 with @entity409 .
