Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate fluoride (F) bioavailability in saliva when using an over-the-counter mouthrinse of 226 ppm F, immediately after brushing with an over-the-counter toothpaste of 1,100 ppm F or a prescription toothpaste of 5,000 ppm F. The study population will include twenty individuals, over the age of 18 years-old, from both genders, with normal oral health conditions and salivary flow rate, no need of urgent dental needs, from the Ann Arbor, MI area. Participants will be recruited from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, in Ann Arbor, MI. Using a crossover design, twenty participants will be rotating through 4 different combinations of fluoride toothpaste (over-the-counter or prescription concentration) and fluoride mouth rinse (yes or no), in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Treatments to be tested will be as followed: Group #1 will brush with 1,100 ppm F (over-the-counter) toothpaste; Group #2 will brush with 1,100 ppm F (over-the-counter) toothpaste and rinse with over-the-counter 226 ppm F mouthrinse; Group #3 will brush with 5,000 ppm F (prescription) toothpaste; Group #4 will brush with 5,000 ppm F (prescription) toothpaste and rinse with over-the-counter 226 ppm F mouthrinse.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Crest Cavity Protection

Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste (1,100 ppm F) will be used to brush teeth, followed by a mouth rinse with tap water

Drug: Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste
Participants will brush their teeth with Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste (1,100 ppm F) for 1 minute, expectorate the foam, and rinse their mouths with 10 mL of tap water for 10 seconds
Other Names:
  • Over-the-counter fluoride toothpaste followed by water rinse
  • Active Comparator: Crest Cavity Protection followed by Act Mint Fluoride Rinse

    Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste (1,100 ppm F) will be used to brush teeth, followed by a mouth rinse with Act Mint Fluoride Rinse (226 ppm)

    Drug: Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste followed by Act Mint Fluoride Rinse
    Participants will brush their teeth with Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste (1,100 ppm F) for 1 minute, expectorate the foam, and rinse their mouths with 10 mL of Act Mint Fluoride Rinse (226 ppm) for 1 minute
    Other Names:
  • Over-the-counter fluoride toothpaste followed by fluoride rinse
  • Active Comparator: Colgate PreviDent 5000+

    Colgate PreviDent 5000+ (5,000 ppm F) will be used to brush teeth, followed by a mouth rinse with tap water

    Drug: Colgate PreviDent 5000+ toothpaste
    Participants will brush their teeth with Colgate PreviDent 5000+ (5,000 ppm F) for 1 minute, expectorate the foam, and rinse their mouths with 10 mL of tap water for 10 seconds
    Other Names:
  • Prescription fluoride toothpaste followed by water rinse
  • Experimental: Colgate PreviDent 5000+ followed by Act Mint Fluoride Rinse

    Colgate PreviDent 5000+ (5,000 ppm F) will be used to brush teeth, followed by a mouth rinse with Act Mint Fluoride Rinse (226 ppm)

    Drug: Colgate PreviDent 5000+ toothpaste followed by Act Mint Fluoride Rinse
    Participants will brush their teeth with Colgate PreviDent 5000+ (5,000 ppm F) for 1 minute, expectorate the foam, and rinse their mouths with 10 mL of Act Mint Fluoride Rinse (226 ppm) for 1 minute
    Other Names:
  • Prescription fluoride toothpaste followed by fluoride rinse
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Area under the curve of fluoride bioavailability in saliva [0 to 60 minutes after the interventions]

      Fluoride concentration in saliva will be measured before (baseline) and up to 60 min after the interventions, and the area under the curve of fluoride concentration versus time will be calculated to estimate bioavailability

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Maximum fluoride concentration in saliva [0 to 60 minutes after the interventions]

      From the area under the curve, the time at which the concentration in saliva is highest will be determined
