Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries

Early Childhood Caries and Its Associated Factors among 9- to 18-Month Old Exclusively Breastfed Children in Thailand: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…This finding is in line with previous studies supporting the importance of cleaning the erupting teeth and soft tissues of infants [24,25], possibly allowing children to become accustomed to oral cleaning practices. Interestingly, although the recent evidence demonstrated the effectiveness of fluoride toothpaste in decreasing the caries increment in primary teeth [26], the present study showed no correlation between ECC and the use of fluorides in the very young age population. The reason might be that most of the previous studies were done in the older age group than the population we studied.…”

Does the composition of toothpaste affect the tooth resistance to erosion/abrasion processes?

“…However, the dentifrice without active compounds (D-FD) and low-F content resulted in lower mineral levels (Ca and P) and higher Ca/P molar ratio in dentin than the other dentifrices (D-AR and D-CS) (Figure 2). This result agrees with a previous systematic review study reporting that the regular use of fluoridated dentifrices containing at least 1000 ppm of soluble fluoride is one of the main reasons for the decrease in dental caries prevalence and severity worldwide (Walsh et al, 2019). These significant changes in the Ca/P molar ratio between brushed groups and control and between the D-FD group and the other dentifrices indicated that the original ratio between organic and inorganic components was modified (Figure 2C) (Malkoc et al, 2011;Soares et al, 2013).…”

Risk factors of early childhood caries among preschool children in Shanghai, China: a longitudinal study

“…Additionally, consistent with our previous study, both the 1-year follow-up and current 2-year follow-up results demonstrated that fluoride toothpaste use effectively reduced new caries incidence, corroborating global evidence ( 15 , 31 ). Fluoride enhances tooth remineralization and inhibits demineralization ( 32 ).…”
