Influence of Fluoride upon Plaque and Gingivitis in the Beagle Dog

Abstract
Two studies were conducted to explore the effects of twice daily topical applications of NaF, SnF 2, and an amine fluoride at equivalent fluoride concentrations (0.1%) upon plaque and gingivitis in the dog. Although some trends toward modest benefits were noted in certain instances, none of the agents exerted a significant effect upon either parameter.
