Cherry flavored fluor gel and hygienic measures were applied to the cases during 10 consecutive days of treatment. Hygienic measures and oral washing gel were applied to the control group during 10 days. The relative risk and confidence interval of 95 %. RESULTS: The fluor group (n = 14) reported a greater efficacy than oral washing gel group at the end of the treatment. No adverse effects were found. CONCLUSIONS: The topic application of Fluor and hygienic measures were effective diminishing gingivitis without adverse effects and at a low cost.
