Research on the change of fluoride component of the enamel structure under toothpaste's action

ABSTRACT

The research was carried out invitro to assess anticaries efficacy of toothpastes. 9 groups of enamel samples were treated with 9 kinds of toothpaste including 8 fluoride-toothpastes (marketed in Vietnam) and 1 placebo (no fluoride). The result of this study showed that fluoride-toothpaste had ability to increase fluoride component of the enamel so it has anticaries efficacy. But the different dentifrice’s anticaries efficacy was also different.
