Brief Summary   A Randomized controlled trial was done to assess the effect of Chlorhexidine-Fluoride gel and Fluoride varnish on active caries among 9-12 year old school children from 8 schools of Bangalore city. Children were randomly allocated to 3groups i.e Chlorhexidine-fluoride gel group, profluoride varnish group and control group. Children who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were chosen. At the baseline, the children underwent oral prophylaxis and cavitated lesions were restored with Type II GIC as needed. Active enamel caries were recorded using Nyvad’s Colleagues criteria (1999). Supervised tooth brushing was performed weekly thrice for Chlorhexidine-Fluoride gel group. Profluoride Varnish application was done at Baseline, 6th month and 12th month and No intervention was done for control group. The effect of chlorhexidine-fluoirde varnish was evaluated at 6, 12 and 15 months.
