Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Surface Microhardness (SMH) Recovery of Enamel Specimens Exposed to NaF Toothpaste (1426ppmF) and AmF Toothpaste (1400ppmF)
Baseline to 14 days

SMH recovery test was used to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. SMH was determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents rehardening of enamel surface. Difference in percent SMH recovery was calculated by comparing study NaF toothpaste (1426ppmF) with reference AmF toothpaste (1400ppmF).

Mean Percentage Surface Microhardness Recovery (%SMHR) of Enamel Specimens Exposed to NaF/Carbopol Toothpaste (1400 ppmF), NaF Toothpaste (1350ppmF) Compared to NaMFP/NaF Toothpaste (1450ppmF)
Baseline to 14 days

%SMHR test was used to assess mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. %SMHR was determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents rehardening of enamel surface. %SMHR was calculated from indentation values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), after intra-oral exposure (R) and after in-vitro demineralization (D) using formula: \[(D-R)/ (D-B)\]\*100.

Frequently asked questions about fluoride toothpaste

What is fluoride toothpaste used for?

Fluoride toothpaste is used to help prevent dental caries, also known as tooth decay. GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK, has developed it as a small molecule product. The clinical program studied it in adults aged 18 years and older, including healthy volunteers and partial denture wearers, in caries-related research settings.

Who makes fluoride toothpaste?

Fluoride toothpaste is developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. The company sponsored the clinical development program for this small molecule product in the caries indication. GSK is the developer named for the two completed Phase 3 trials that studied the product in adults.

What phase is fluoride toothpaste in?

Fluoride toothpaste has been studied in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, and neither is currently active. The program enrolled a total of 125 participants across the two studies, which were randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled. It is an investigational product in the caries research setting.

What clinical trials is fluoride toothpaste in?

Fluoride toothpaste has been studied in two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01005966, titled In Situ Caries Model of Fluoride Toothpastes, enrolled 65 participants. NCT00708123, titled In Situ Caries of Fluoride Toothpastes, enrolled 60 participants. Both trials included adults aged 18 years and older and enrolled healthy volunteers.

Is fluoride toothpaste the same as sodium fluoride toothpaste?

Yes, fluoride toothpaste is also known as sodium fluoride toothpaste. The names refer to the same product developed by GSK plc under the ticker GSK. Readers searching for sodium fluoride toothpaste or sodium fluoride toothpaste will find the same Phase 3 caries program, which includes the completed trials NCT01005966 and NCT00708123.

How many people were enrolled in fluoride toothpaste trials?

The fluoride toothpaste clinical program enrolled 125 participants in total across two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT01005966 enrolled 65 participants, and NCT00708123 enrolled 60 participants. Both studies were randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled, and both included adults aged 18 years and older.
