Systematic database searches were conducted (December 11, 2025) without language or date restrictions. Eligible studies were randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing PCFs (dentifrices, mouthwashes, tablets, etc.) for caries-related outcomes compared with negative control or chlorhexidine-containing formulations (CHX). Standardized mean differences (SMD) were calculated using random-effects models. Meta-analyses were conducted for the outcomes plaque index (PI) and microbial counts in saliva or biofilm (MC).
