Very interesting.
From that paper, the brand they used as example of stannous fluoride was "oral-B pro expert all-around protection" Do you know of any other brands?
I wonder if we can conclude it was the stannous fluoride that made the difference and one of the other ingredients.
- buildsjets 2y agoI use Crest Pro-Health, from the grocery store. It also happens to be what my dentist hands out in their goody bag, but she did not know about the difference between different forms of Fluoride when I brought it up at a check-up. Probably picks the goody bag contents based on who gives the best kickbacks/perks. I'm sure that there are other studies out that that compare the active ingredients in isolation rather than as a part of a commercial preparation, that's just the first one I came across that looked to be from a reasonably independent source, rather than a disguised advertisement.
- PaulHoule 2y agoIt drives me nuts that many toothpastes make big claims about what they do but don't clearly link that to the ingredients they contain. One of very few new ideas was the incorporation of Triclosan into Colgate Total which certainly takes a bite out of biofilms https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9220381/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9220381/ but who knows if it is good for the rest of you.
- ivansavz 2y agoUpdate: I went to the drug store and is seems "stannous fluoride" is quite common in Crest brand toothpastes. All the "high-end" toothpastes had it, so it's not a rare thing at all, just have to read the medical ingredients as you said.
