Clinical studies prove it and patient testimony confirms it: the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride in Oral-B's Pro-Expert toothpaste is what makes the difference. This powerful
ingredient gives Oral-B's Pro-Expert toothpaste a long-lasting antimicrobial action, which fights plaque and consequently gum problems. A six-month trial by Mankodi _et al_.1 concluded
that dentifrice containing stabilised stannous fluoride had a statistically significant effect on the control and prevention of gingivitis. It inhibits antimicrobial growth as well as
reducing the ability of bacteria to 'stick' to tooth and gum surfaces. The gum health benefits do not stop there, thanks to the perfectly matched inclusion of sodium
hexametaphosphate. This polymer protects against calculus formation, as well as staining, thereby reducing a further cause of plaque retention on the roughened surface of the calculus. The
combined force of these two plaque reducing agents help protect against gum problems. All toothpastes are not the same. Whilst the inclusion of fluoride is a given, to afford maximum
protection a formulation must contain other proven ingredients that work in harmony together to promote good oral health. REFERENCES * Mankodi S, Bartizek R D, Winston J L, Biesbrock A R,
