THE EFFECT OF AN ACIDULATED FLUORIDE MOUTHWASH ON DENTAL CARIES

J. F. ROBERTS 1, B. G. BIBBY 1, and W. D. WELLOCK 1

1 Tufts College Dental School and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Boston, Mass.

The effect of a pH 4 mouthwash used twice a week was tested for one year on sixth grade children. The 187 children using an acidulated sodium fluoride mouthwash had a caries attack rate more than 30 per cent higher than 169 children using an acidulated fluoride-free mouthwash. It is suggested that this negative effect of fluoride treatments may be the result of acidulation of the mouthwash used and an explanatory hypothesis is offered.
