Figure 1 Cfu(log10)–time graph of total bacteria for 120min after PS (physiological saline), OCT (octenidine dihydrochloride), CHX (chlorhexidine gluconate), and PVP–I (polyvinylpyrrolidone–iodine) treatment. The p-values for the mouth rinse solutions are as follows: PS: 0.914; OCT: <0.001; CHX: <0.001; PVP–I: <0.001.
