Title: [Evaluation of the efficacy of sanguinarine using the experimental gingivitis model].
Abstract: Some studies showed positive results in testing the efficacy of sanguinarine delivered as oral rinse or dentifrice against plaque and gingivitis. The application of a gel containing 0.05 and 0.5% sanguinarine using special trays did not prevent plaque formation in regions with no oral hygiene. In contrast to placebo the 0.5% sanguinaria-gel was able to retard the formation of an experimental gingivitis. Chlorhexidine was superior to sanguinarine. Side effects were not detected.
