OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of a highly bioavailable 0.454% stannous fluoride dentifrice on established gingival bleeding over a 3-month period.
METHODS
A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. In total, 100 adults with mild-to-moderate gingivitis and an average of 15 bleeding
The effects of a stabilized 0.454% stannous fluoride dentifrice, currently marketed as Crest Gum Care, on supragingival plaque, gingivitis, gingival bleeding and oral soft tissue condition were studied in 328 adult male and female subjects who completed a six-month, double blind clinical study.
Demineralizations around orthodontic brackets are a main disadvantage of orthodontic treatment. Several methods have been advocated to prevent their development, such as fluoride rinses or varnishes. In this randomized clinical trial, a fluoride rinse (a combination of sodium fluoride and amine
The aim of this study was to test the effect of a rinse with 0.05% sodium fluoride and 0.05% chlorhexidine on plaque and gingival inflammation compared with a placebo without these agents. In a double-blind study, 47 adults with > 20 teeth and a CPITN score > 1 but < 4 were randomised into test and
This parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial directly compared the efficacy of two antimicrobial dentifrice formulations for the control of plaque, gingivitis and gingival bleeding during six months of use following a pre-test randomization period. Test antimicrobial
To estimate gingivitis effects of a bioavailable gluconate chelated 0.454% stannous fluoride (SnF2 ) family of dentifrices in adult subjects versus positive (triclosan) and negative (NaF or MFP) controls when used ≤3 months.
This study determined the effect of brushing with 0.4% stannous fluoride (SnF2) or 0.22% sodium fluoride (NaF) on clinical and microbial parameters associated with gingivitis. The study included three groups of 281 subjects. Subjects in all three groups were instructed to brush twice daily with an
Previous work has shown that a high fluoride intake in rodents leads to histopathological changes in the germinal epithelium of testes that is associated with zinc deficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine whether supplemental dietary Zn would protect against testicular toxicity induced
Although crystals are rarely identified on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microscopy, their presence can be of significant diagnostic value. We report a case of oxalate crystals seen on CSF microscopy of a 43-year-old woman. The patient presented with headaches, nausea and vomiting. CT of the head showed
The effect of fluoride on lung tissue was assessed in rabbits during experimental fluorosis. Sodium fluoride as 5, 10, 20 and 50 mg/kg body weight/day was injected subcutaneously for 100 days into rabbits of both sexes. The control animals were given 1 cc distilled water/kg body weight/day for the
Sodium fluoride is an accessible and frequently used compound that if ingested can cause ventricular dysrhythmias, hemorrhage, and death. We present a case report of a 21-year-old female who presented following an intentional ingestion of a lethal dose of sodium fluoride, developing massive
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of amine fluoride (AmF)--stannous fluoride (SnF2) containing toothpaste and mouthrinsing on dental plaque accumulation and gingivitis. The examinations were performed on two groups of 20 (using AmF/SnF2)-, resp. 24 (using NaF) participants. The mean age
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether supplementary daily use of amine fluoride toothpaste with weekly brushing with amine fluoride gel enhances the remineralization of white spot lesions on smooth surfaces and also to investigate the possible effect of this treatment on salivary bacterial counts and
