A Stannous Fluoride, Silex, Silicone Dental Prophylaxis Paste with Anticariogenic Potentialities

A stannous fluoride, silex, silicone dental prophylaxis paste has been formulated that more effectively inhibited in vitro solubility of phosphorus of tooth structure than did a topical application of 10 per cent stannous fluoride. The silex, which acts as the abrasive, did not react with any of the other ingredients. The silicone-petrolatum moistening agent increased the protective effect and added stability to the mixture. In a time-function study the effectiveness of the paste did not decrease over a 5-week period. Stannous fluoride was the salient constituent of the dental prophylaxis paste. The other components of the mixture either added more desirable properties or increased its effectiveness.*
