•Fluoride may affect the bacterial viability in the oral cavity.•Bacterial colorization in the various oral niches is different.•AmF has a long lasting effect on bacterial viability.•NaF has a shot but distinct effect on bacterial viability. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of so...
