چکیده
INTRODUCTION THE PREVALENCE OF GINGIVITIS IN ADULTS IN THE United States exceeds 50% and approaches 100% in some population groups.1,2 Similar proportions are believed to exist in Canada, although data are lacking. Although the prevalence of periodontitis is decreasing in some populations, it increases with age and may effect as many as 80% of seniors.3 While gingivitis is not a good predictor for the development of periodontitis, gingivitis does typically precede periodontitis4 and therefore the control of gingivitis is well warranted.

Photodegradation products of NIF have no clinical activity, so different formulations of NIF must remain unchanged. If NIF preparations become unstable in exposure to light, they could cause therapeutic failure. The present st...
