Summary

This study will use an oral in-situ caries model to study remineralization of enamel due to the action of different combinations of fluoride salts delivered from dentifrices.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Good general health with (in the opinion of the investigator) no clinically significant and relevant abnormalities of medical or oral health.
  • No current active caries or periodontal disease that may compromise the study or health of the subject.
  • All restorations in a good state of repair
  • Currently wearing a removable mandibular partial denture with sufficient room in the posterior buccal flange area to accomodate two enamel specimens required dimensions 12 x 7 mm.
  • Willing to have their denture modified to accomodate enamel test specimens
  • Willing and capable of wearing removable mandibular partial dentures 24 hours per day during the treatment periods.
  • Salivary flow rate in the range of normal values (unstimulated whole saliva flow rate greater than or equal to 0.2 mL/ minute; gum base stimulated whole saliva flow rate greater than or equal to 0.8 mL/minute.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Individuals currently taking antibiotics, or who have taken antibiotics within 30 days prior to the first treatment visit.
  • Current active caries or periodontal disease that may compromise the study or health of the subject.
