  1. The calculated bactericidal rate for A. naeslundii and P. micra with SDF was 100% (no CFUs could be observed in any trial). The bactericidal rate of PI as well as of SDF + PI showed relatively high bactericidal rates in this group; yet, not as effective as SDF. Riva Star is delivered with a 38% SDF concentration
  2. SDF silver diamine fluoride, PI potassium iodide, SD standard deviation, M median, Max maxima, Min minima; n = 6
