The effect of multiple 10% SnF2 and physiologic saline solution applications on the prevalence of Streptococcus mutans in human interproximal dental plaque was investigated. The agents were introduced into the test sites with dental floss twice daily on four consecutive days, and samples were taken on nine subsequent occasions during a six-month period. Results indicated that the SnF2-floss treatment significantly reduced S mutans from interproximal tooth surfaces.
