† Double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study in 18 patients with American Dental Association Periodontal Case Type I or II (gingivitis or incipient periodontitis, respectively). Subjects received an ultrasonic scaling for 10 minutes of half mouth to establish baseline levels of viable bacteria in aerosol. Subjects then rinsed with COOL MINT LISTERINE® or a 5% hydroalcohol control rinse followed immediately by a 10-minute ultrasonic scaling of the contralateral half mouth. Identical procedure repeated 1 week later where subjects crossed over to alternate treatment.
