Plasma fluoride levels in man following intake of SnF2 in solution or toothpaste.
The degree and rate of fluoride absorption in five volunteers were studied after ingestion of SnF2 and NaF solutions or SnF2 toothpaste. The fluoride concentration in plasma was followed for eight hours. The relative bio-availability of fluoride was calculated and was similar for both the NaF and SnF2 solutions, although the latter solution showed a somewhat faster absorption rate. The bio-availability of fluoride from the SnF2 dentifrice was 85%.
