Abstract

In this double-blind caries study, 1160 Taiwanese children (ages 8-15) completed a program using a test dentifrice containing 1.243 percent sodium fluoride and soluble pyrophosphates, or a control dentifrice without these agents. The average reduction of new carious tooth surfaces was 39 percent with the sodium fluoride dentifrice.
