[Effects of mouthwashes on the structural characteristics of human mixed saliva].

Effects of TANA hygienic liquids on the structural characteristics of mixed saliva were studied in 9 subjects aged 15-20 years after tooth cleaning with Colgate and Pepsodent toothpastes. Tooth cleaning with Colgate paste led to structural changes in the saliva, but gargling with hygienic liquids "Soft Fluoride Gargling" and "Tartar Control" helped preserve its structure. Structural characteristics of the oral fluid were retained after tooth cleaning with Pepsodent toothpaste. Gargling with the above hygienic liquids after tooth cleaning with Pepsodent led to structural changes in the saliva or created conditions for such changes. "Fluoride Gargling for Children" used after tooth cleaning with both toothpastes promoted alkalization of the oral fluid, which can lead to lithogenesis in the oral cavity.

[Self-applied topical fluoride products for children available in Israel. Part two: Mouthwashes].

The use of self applied topical fluoride products is considered, today, the most effective caries prevention measure. The daily or weekly/biweekly use of fluoridated mouth rinses, containing adequate concentrations of fluoride ion, has been shown to be an important adjunct in caries prevention and arrest. The purpose of this paper was 1. to review the various types of fluoridated mouth rinses, with regard to the type of fluoride compound and its effectiveness; 2. to focus on the fluoridated mouthrinses available for children in Israel in regard to concentration and additives, and 3. to give recommendations for rational and safe use. The mouthrinses are presented according to their concentration, showing Fluoride compound, additives, alcohol presence, flavor and manufacturer. The issues of safety in regard to ingestion of the rinse by small children are discussed. Rinses of no less than a 230-250 ppm are recommended to children of medium and high caries risk above the age of 6. The product should carry clear information regarding the type of fluoride compound, its concentration, instructions for use and age restriction. The products should be further protected by child proof caps.
