چکیده
Description: Fluoride dentifrices were first introduced in the 1950s. [1] The first fluoride dentifrice contained stannous fluoride and was first marketed in 1955. Since then many studies have investigated the level of dose and the form of fluoride that is optimum in dentifrice formulations. Higher caries reduction was reported in the 70s in clinical trials that investigated the potency of using high fluoride dentifrices (i.e., fluoride greater than 1,000 ppm). [2] The maximum concentration of fluoride in over-the-counter products is 1,500 ppm. [3] In the recent years, prescription-only toothpastes developed for high caries risk adolescents, adults and elderly are available.
