Fluoride
nStannous fluoride and sodium fluoride have been used
nStannous fluoride is a more effective
anti-plaque agent than
sodium fluoride because
the tin ion binds to the bacterial surface which affects their metabolic activity and ability to colonize
nCan inhibit plaque formation but not necessarily for a long time since all
but one long-term study
don’t show any plaque or
gingivitis reduction
