Abstract EN
The aim of the study was to evaluate salivary fluoride (F) availability after toothbrushing with a high-F dentifrice.
Twelve adult volunteers took part in this crossover and blind study.
F concentration in saliva was determined after brushing with a high-F dentifrice (5000 µg F/g) or with a conventional F concentration dentifrice (1100 µg F/g) followed by a 15 mL distilled water rinse.
Samples of nonstimulated saliva were collected on the following times: before (baseline), and immediately after spit (time = 0) and after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min.
F analysis was performed with a fluoride-sensitive electrode and the area under curve of F salivary concentration × time (µg F/mL × min−1) was calculated.
At baseline, no significant difference was found among dentifrices (P > 0.05).
After brushing, both dentifrices caused an elevated fluoride level in saliva; however salivary F concentration was significantly higher at all times, when high-F dentifrice was used (P < 0.01).
Even after 120 min, salivary F concentration was still higher than the baseline values for both dentifrices (P < 0.001).
High-F dentifrice enhanced the bioavailability of salivary F, being an option for caries management in patients with high caries risk.
