Cover; Page 1 2 3 4 5 After the cysteine rinse, the VSCs gradually return to baseline within twenty minutes as the cysteine is depleted. Once at baseline, the test subject is then administered a water rinse and VSC measurements are taken again. As expected, there is no VSC produced from the water per se. A cysteine rinse is then administered as before and repetitively there after at 20-180 minute intervals for a total period of 480 minutes (8 hours). The same high VSC levels reached with the first cysteine rinse is seen with each of these successive cysteine challenges. This shows that the water rinse is unable to stop the oral bacteria from producing VSCS. When the same test is done with SmartMouth Rinse AHTR, the results in Figure 2 are observed. The initial cysteine challenge gives the same VSC change as before. With a subsequent rinse with SmartMouth Rinse AHTR, the VSC readings remain essentially at baseline. This shows that SmartMouth Rinse AHTR per se has no effect on the Halimeter reading. However, when repetitive cysteine challenge testing is performed thereafter, the ability of the oral bacteria to produce VSC is suppressed for 8 hours. Clearly, this demonstrates that following single usage, SmartMouth Rinse AHTR suppresses the ability of the oral bacteria to produce VSC dramatically.

The study compared SmartMouth Rinse AHTR with distilled water as the control. The study included 48 subjects and tested the extent     Previous Page    Next Page Cover; Page 1 2 3 4 5
