In the present
study, comparable results in MS reduction were observed with the
use of Lippia sidoides Cham. essential oil. However, both chlorhexidine
and vancomycin treatments generated a drastic decrease in
salivary MS levels, in comparison to the reductions observed following
topical treatment with LSO. Since great reductions tend to
be followed by a significant increase in salivaryMSlevels 2–4 weeks
after treatment application
