Abstract : This study was conducted at four villages related to Balteem city, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate to evaluate the effect of two types of chlorhexidine varnishes (chlorzoin vs cervitec) on salivary streptococcus mutans levels and caries incidencein 120 high caries risk group of schoolchildren. The selected children were randomly divided into three equal groups (Group 1= chlorzoin, Group U= Cervitec and Group III = control group). Six saliva samples were collected at several time sequences. The results showed highly significant reduction in caires incidence of permanent teeth by chlorzoin and cervitec varnishes application while there was no significant reduction in caries incidence of deciduous teeth compared to control group. Also, high significant reduction of salivary streptococcus mutans was achieved with both chlorzoin and cervitec varnishes when compared with each other, with the baseline bacterial count and also when compared to control group bacterial counts.
