Evaluation of additional amine fluoride/stannous fluoride-containing mouthrinse during supportive therapy in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis . A randomized , crossover , double-blind , controlled trial . OBJECTIVES The objective of the present randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a mouthrinse containing a combination of AmF/SnF2 in controlling supragingival plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation during a 12-week period in patients affected by generalized aggressive periodontitis ( GAP ) . METHODS Eighteen subjects , six males and 12 females , mean age : 32.2 years , were evaluated . One-half of the patients was either prescribed an AmF/SnF2-containing mouthrinse ( test mouthrinse ) or a control mouthrinse in addition to mechanical plaque control for 12 weeks . After a 2-week wash-out period , the patients received the alternative mouthrinse . Before and after treatment plaque index ( PlI ) , gingival index ( GI ) , angulated bleeding index ( AngBI ) , tooth stain ( GMSI ) , and tongue stain were recorded . RESULTS Test mouthrinse resulted in a statistically significant decrease in PlI ( p = 0.029 ) and GI ( p = 0.017 ) . After treatment , PlI was significantly lower in test compared to control mouthrinse ( p = 0.027 ) . GMSI significantly increased post-treatment for both mouthrinse regimens ( p < 0.001 ) , a significantly higher score being observed for the test compared to control mouthrinse ( p = 0.002 ) . CONCLUSIONS The 12-week use of a AmF/SnF2-containing mouthrinse as an adjunct to conventional mechanical oral hygiene procedures in GAP patients was effective in controlling the amount of supragingival plaque deposits .
