Abstract
A stannous fluoride, silex, silicone dental prophylaxis paste has been developed and tested in vitro for anticariogenic potentialities. The active ingredient is stannous fluoride; the silex acts as the abrasive, and the silicone-petrolatum dilution acts as the moistening agent. Flavoring agents consist of oil of orange, oil of anise, and sucaryl. Data indicate that the prophylaxis paste is more effective in preventing in vitro acid decalcification of enamel than a 10% topical application of aqueous stannous fluoride.Keywords
