Clinical efficacy of an optimized stannous fluoride dentifrice, Part 4: A 3-month calculus clinical study, northwest USA.
The objective of this 3-month, double-blind study was to investigate the efficacy of Colgate Optimized Stannous Fluoride (COSF) dentifrice for the control of supragingival dental calculus accumulation. After 3 months' use, the COSF dentifrice group exhibited a statistically significant 56.6% reduction in supragingival calculus formation, as compared to the control dentifrice group. The results of this study support the conclusion that the COSF dentifrice is efficacious for controlling the accumulation of supragingival calculus.
