Influence of Fluoride upon Plaque and Gingivitis in the Beagle Dog

Abstract

Two studies were conducted to explore the effects of twice daily topical applications of NaF, SnF₂, and an amine fluoride at equivalent fluoride concentrations (0.1%) upon plaque and gingivitis in the dog. Although some trends toward modest benefits were noted in certain instances, none of the agents exerted a significant effect upon either parameter.
