Abstract
The salivary Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts were assessed in 100 Egyptian children, initially before mouthrinsing with 0.05% sodium fluoride solution, 24 hours and 48 hours following rinsing. A statistically significant reduction in Lactobacillus and Streptococcus mutans counts of 49% and 44% respectively was obtained 24 hours following rinsing. This percentage decrease in both bacterial counts was reduced to 27% and 31% respectively, 48 hours following rinsing.
