Background: Stannous fluoride (SnF) is a compound present in many commercially available dentifrices; however, oxidative decomposition negatively impacts its efficacy. Stannous oxidation is often mitigated through the addition of complexing agents or sources of sacrificial stannous compounds. The authors have found that the addition of zinc phosphate significantly improved stannous stability more effectively than other stabilization methods. The authors evaluated the chemical speciation of stannous compounds within a variety of formulations using x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), a technique never used before in this manner. These data were compared and correlated with several antimicrobial experiments.

Methods: XANES data of various commercially available compounds and Colgate Total were performed and analyzed against a library of reference compounds to determine the tin chemical speciation. The antibacterial assays used were salivary adenosine triphosphate, short-interval kill test, plaque glycolysis, and anaerobic biofilm models.

Results: XANES spectra showed a diverse distribution of tin species and varying degrees of SnF oxidation. In vitro antimicrobial assessment indicated significant differences in performance, which may be correlated to the differences in tin speciation and oxidation state.

Conclusions: Driven by the excipient ingredients, SnF dentifrices contain a distribution of tin species in either the SnF or Sn(IV) oxidation state. The addition of zinc phosphate provided significant robustness against oxidation, which directly translated to greater efficacy against bacteria.

Practical Implications: The choice of inactive ingredients in a dentifrice with active SnF can dramatically impact product stability.

Objectives: This study aims to comparatively assess the preventive and protective effects of the self-assembling peptide P-4 on enamel erosion and evaluate the potential for enamel surface recovery when professional products are combined with home-use dental-care products during the erosive process.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-nine bovine incisors were divided into nine groups: a control group, four groups with the application of professional-products [P-4 peptide (Curodont-Repair), stannous/Sn containing solution (8% Sn), casein-phosphopeptide-amorphous-calcium-phosphate fluoride/CPP-ACPF (MI Varnish), sodium fluoride/NaF (Profluorid)] and four groups with the combination of professional products and home-use daily dental care products [P-4 peptide (Curodont Repair + Curodont Protect), stannous ions containing agents (8% Sn+Emofluor Gel Intensive-Care), CPP-ACPF (MI Varnish + MI Paste Plus), NaF (Profluorid + ReminPro)]. Professional products were applied once before a five-day erosive cycle, involving six 2-minute citric-acid exposures per day.

Background: Oral malodor, whether from systemic disease, dietary sources, or bacteria in the oral cavity, can negatively impact patients' quality of life. Oral malodor due to bacteria in the oral cavity can be managed by mechanically or chemically removing bacteria. Dentifrices are ideal vehicles to deliver therapeutic active ingredients that promote and maintain oral health since most consumers brush their teeth daily.

Background: The objective of this randomized controlled trial was the comparison of a stannous fluoride (SnF2) dentifrice stabilized with nitrate and phosphates (test) to a regular fluoride dentifrice (negative control) for the control of plaque and gingivitis over 6 months.

Methods: A total of 80 adult participants were enrolled in this study that was conducted in Loma Linda, California. After randomization and blinding of study personnel and patients, enrolled participants were provided instructions for the use of their assigned dentifrice.
