Abstract:The oral malodor reduction efficacy of dentifrices containing stannous fluoride (SnF2) or zinc plus arginine (Zn/Arg) was evaluated using a halimeter to measure volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in two randomized, controlled, single-blind, cross-over pilot clinical trials. Study 1 (N = 16) had five 1100 ppm F dentifrices and five treatment periods: negative control (NC): 0.243% sodium fluoride (NaF); SnF2 A: 0.454% SnF2 + pyrophosphate; SnF2 B: 0.454% SnF2 + sodium hexametaphosphate; SnF2 C: 0.454% SnF2 + citra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
