Objective:
this in vitro study investigated the effect of high-fluoride dentifrice, Chlorhexidine (CHX), and their association on the viability of Streptococcus mutans using a biofilm model. Material andMethod:
biofilms were anaerobically grown on glass slides that were vertically suspended in 24-well plates for 5 days. After 48 h of initial growth, biofilms were treated for the next 72 h, 2x/day with 0.12% CHX and 2%, F as 0.08% and 0.4% NaF and their association.Results:
CHX treatment decreased the bacteria counts either alone or in association with both F concentrations, when compared with control group and the F treatments alone (p < 0.05).Conclusion:
no additional effect was observed when CHX and F were used in combination, when compared with CHX used alone.
