SnF2 was originally developed for the world’s first decay preventing toothpaste – Crest with Fluoristan. That historical toothpaste had very little available stannous because it rapidly reacted with the other toothpaste ingredients. Decades of research were spent amplifying the stannous bioavailability for the gum benefits they provide.
The purpose of this talk is to provide a condensed historical account of this history of SnF2 to toothpaste, the ability of SnF2 to provide a multitude of benefits, and how a new SnF2 toothpaste was designed to optimize enamel remineralization, erosion prevention, and sensitivity reduction benefits simultaneously.
