The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine if a novel 970 ppm F ion SnF2OTC gel (Enamelon Preventive Treatment Gel) and a 1150 ppm F- ion SnF2OTC Enamelon Toothpaste, each delivering amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), can significantly reduce the effect of an acid challenge to enamel as compared to two prescription (Rx) strength 5000 ppm F- ion (NaF) dentifrices containing tri-calcium phosphate (TCP), and an Rx 900 ppm F- ion (NaF) paste with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). The effect will be determined by measuring the resistance of enamel specimens to an acid challenge before and after treatment with the test dentifrices.
