title: A closer look at tartar control dentifrices.
abstract: A variety of tartar control dentifrices is currently on the market. This has led to some confusion on the part of both clinicians and the public about the need for and efficacy of these products. A description of the effects of these dentifrices on calculus, a discussion of the commercial products available, and comparative research findings are presented.
