After 3 days a highly significant reduction in plaque was detected in the upper central incisors on the experimental sides compared with the control sides of students' mouths. Comparing all teeth, less plaque was found on experimental sides than on control sides of the mouths. This difference demonstrated a tendency towards statistical significance. After 4 days the quantitative differences between the two halves of the mouths (less plaque on experimental sides) were greater than after 3 days.
