This book represents the current state of the art in the science of dentifrices and highlights the clinical and biological aspects. Emphasis is placed on the chemistry of dentifrice products and how they are evaluated in clinically proven trials. The book begins with an insight into the historical aspects of dentifrices followed by overviews on oral hygiene measures, the role of dentifrices in relation to plaque control as a means of reducing the risk of dental caries and periodontal disease. Sections are devoted to anti-calculus agents, the response of oral micro-organisms to dentifrice agents such as fluoride metal ions and various detergents and to the sensitivity of teeth. The book is a collaborative effort by many of the leading dental scientists in Europe, Scandinavia, and the United States.
