Then an ideal Streptococcus Mutans colony was incubated in 20 Petri dishes that contained Mueller-Hinton medium. Each dish had 3 wells; one well for each toothpaste (BioMin F, NovMin, and Signal) to perform the agar diffusion test. After incubating for 24\u2009hours, the inhabitation zone around each well of each Petri dish was noticed and measured. Statistical Analysis was achieved using a statistical package, SPSS Windows version 17, by applying Kruskal-Wallis with Mann\u2013Whitney U test (\u03b1\u2009=\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Results<\/jats:title>\n BioMin F showed the highest mean of inhibition zone diameter ($$\\bar{x}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n x<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \u00af<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mover>\n <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009=\u20092.67\u2009mm) in compared with NovaMin and Signal ($$\\bar{x}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n x<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \u00af<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mover>\n <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009=\u20090.39\u2009mm and $$\\bar{x}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n x<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \u00af<\/mml:mo>\n <\/mml:mover>\n <\/mml:math><\/jats:alternatives><\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009=\u20092.19\u2009mm; p<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u20090.001 in each pairwise comparison).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n BioMin F toothpaste showed superior antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans to Signal and NovaMin toothpastes.
