Treatment and study plan

cleansing teeth after topical fluoride therapy

Procedure

washing with water 0, 15 or 30 min after APF treatment or cleansing teeth with cotton roll immediately following APF treatment.

Primary outcomes

  1. dental plaque PH

    Time frame: the pH of 48-hour dental plaque was measured using plaque sampling method before (baseline pH) and after sucrose challenge at 5, 10,15,20,30 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. maximum pH drop

    Time frame: 5,10,15,20 and 30 min after sucrose chalenge

  2. pH recovery time

    Time frame: within 30 min after sucrose challenge

    time for returning to the baseline pH
