A comparison is described of three methods of preclinical assessment of potential anti-caries efficacy for topical fluoride treatments. Methods are compared using dentifrices containing 1,000, 1,500 and 2,500 ppm F as sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP). These formulations have been shown elsewhere to give a statistically significant dose response of increasing anti-caries efficacy [Stephen et al., 1988]. An in situ enamel insert model, oral fluoride pharmacokinetics and F uptake to demineralised enamel are all shown to correlate with clinical efficacy for the test dentifrices studied.

D003731 Dental Caries Localized destruction of the tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity may penetrate the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
