[Treatment of xerostomia with lactoperoxidase-containing mouthwashes and toothpaste].

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a lactoperoxidase--hypothiocyanate enzyme system on the subjective complaints and symptoms of patients suffering from "dry mouth syndrome" with diseases of the oral mucosa. The objective changes in the oral microbiological flora and cytological pattern were also assessed. The lactoperoxidase-enzyme system-containing products--like Oralbalance gel (in combination with Biotène toothpaste)--seems to be a useful tool of choice for symptomatic therapy in patients, complaining of "dry mouth syndrome".

Enamel opacities and dental caries in children who used a low fluoride toothpaste between 2 and 5 years of age.

A recent clinical trial investigated the cariostatic effectiveness of a low (550 ppm) fluoride toothpaste in comparison with a standard (1050 ppm) control paste in pre-school children who were 2-years-old at the start of the 3-year trial. The present study has investigated the prevalence of enamel opacities in permanent incisor teeth and of caries in children who had taken part. As well as children from test and control groups, a third group of non-trial children were included in the sample. A total of 1,523 children were examined in schools and had photographs taken of their upper permanent incisor teeth. The latter were scored using the Thylstrup and Fejerskov (TF) index for fluorosis and the modified Developmental Defects of Enamel (DDE) index. Differences between the groups were small in real terms but using the TF index the child and tooth prevalence of opacities were significantly lower in the children who had used the test paste with a lower fluoride content; the same trend was seen in diffuse defects scored using the modified DDE index. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of caries in either primary or permanent teeth although the trend in both cases was for slightly more disease in children who had used the test paste.

[The use of toothpaste with vitamin C in treating periodontitis].

Toothpaste with vitamin A and a control paste without it were used in the treatment of periodontitis. The paste with vitamin A noticeably reduced gingival bleeding activity and proved to be effective in the treatment of young patients and of those with mild periodontitis.

Allergic contact dermatitis and stomatitis caused by a cinnamic aldehyde-flavored toothpaste.

A patient had acute stomatitis and dermatitis due to a popular toothpaste containing cinnamon oil flavor. Cinnamon cassia oil is known as a topical sensitizer and was demonstrated to be the offending allergen. Cinnamic aldehyde and related chemicals are used widely, so that patients having cinnamon allergy may be exposed to many sources. There is difficulty in diagnosing allergic contact stomatitis.

Influence of fluoride containing toothpaste on serum and urine fluoride levels in children.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of fluoridated toothpaste on serum and urine fluoride levels in two groups of children with supervised brushing. As part of the study dietary intakes of fluoride were calculated from a 24 hour diet record and eight samples of water from different families were also analysed for their fluoride content.

[Clinical studies on the reduction of dental calculus formation by the use of a percent HEDP containing toothpaste].

In a clinical, uncontrolled double blind test, the effect of a 1% HEDP containing toothpaste on the formation and degree of mineralization of supragingival calculus was examined in 50 subjects over two periods of three month each. Considering all subjects the HEDP-containing paste reduced the new formation of calculus by 34.1% or 41.1% depending on the method of evaluation (CS or VM index) and the mineral content by 20.3%.

The effect of NaF and SMFP toothpastes on three-year caries increments in adolescents.

A three-year double blind clinical caries trial was undertaken to compare the anticaries efficacy of three types of active agent, namely sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP) and the combination of NaF plus sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), using two fluoride levels (1000 ppm F and 1500 ppm F). The prime objective of the study was to determine whether there was any difference in the anticaries efficacy between NaF and SMFP. The second objective was to assess the effect on caries protection of the incorporation of TMP into a NaF dentifrice formulation. The study was carried out to FDI protocol and involved 4,294 children aged 11-12 years at outset. These participants had been selected from a pool of 6,212 potential subjects on the basis of caries experience and dental eruption pattern. They were stratified by sex, examiner, presence of calculus and caries, and allocated at random to one of the six toothpastes under study. Clinical examinations were carried out at baseline and thereafter annually for 3 years. Bitewing radiographs of a subset of children were taken at baseline and at the end of the study. The outcome measure for the study, DMFS increment, was defined as the increase in caries over three years, taking into account changes occurring on individual tooth surfaces. After three years, clinical-only data for 3,517 children were available for the calculation of caries indices. The mean three-year DMFS increment for subjects using a dentifrice containing NaF alone was 6.4 per cent lower than for those using a dentifrice containing SMFP. The difference between the NaF+TMP users and the SMFP users was 8.1 percent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
