Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify the influence of prebrushing mouthwashes on dental plague removal in children. Methods:. This study had a double-blind, randomized, controlled, crossover, 25-day experimental design, including 38 12- to 14-year-olds. Four solutions were used as prebrushing mouthwashes (Colgate Plox Magic Listerine Cool Blue Agent, water and dye, and water) by each participant with seven days' washout. The plaque index was evaluated before and after tooth-brushing during the experimental period. Results: Intergroup comparisons showed no significant differences in plague reduction among evaluated solutions (Friedman test, P>.78). Significantly more plague was present before vs. after tooth-brushing (Wilcoxon rank test, P<.001), independent of the surface (buccal or lingual/palatal). Conclusion: Use of prebrushing mouthwashes by children does not influence plague removal by tooth-brushing.
