Effect of a combination of amine/stannous fluoride dentifrice and mouthrinse in periodontal maintenance patients

Abstract

The combined use of an AmF/SnF(2) dentifrice and mouthrinse did not affect the parameters of inflammation (bleeding upon marginal probing and probing pocket depth), but it has shown to be more effective in terms of plaque reduction when compared with the use of an NaF dentifrice and mouthrinse in a group of periodontal patients placed under regular maintenance care.

Increased Salivary Fluoride Concentrations after Post-Brush Fluoride Rinsing Not Reflected in Dental Plaque

“…If plaque re-growth is less or delayed, or less binding sites are available in the dental plaque, less fl uoride will be taken up. Inhibition of plaque accumulation has been observed after using AmF/SnF 2 dentifrice and/or mouthrinse in several studies [Zimmermann et al, 1993;Mengel et al, 1996;Paraskevas et al, 2004]. If AmF/SnF 2 had a similar effect on plaque growth in the present study, then this could have reduced fl uoride uptake.…”

The effect of a tooth/tongue gel and mouthwash regimen on morning oral malodour

“…It has been suggested that a possible side effect of some of the active ingredients in the test regimen group (ie, amine fluoride/stannous fluoride) could be stain development . Paraskevas et al .…”

The effect of a dentifrice and mouth rinse combination containing amine fluoride/stannous fluoride on plaque and gingivitis: a 6‐month field study

“…Such a decrease in plaque has been documented earlier in the literature (Brecx et al 1993, Zimmerman et al 1993). In periodontitis patients receiving periodontal maintenance care, the combination dentifrice and mouth rinse containing AmF/SnF 2 resulted in a ±25% reduction in plaque scores (Paraskevas et al 2004). Compared with these results, the plaque reduction in the test group in the present study (16%) is not of the same magnitude.…”
