Systemic Fluoride Bioavailability From Toothpastes Containing Calcium Carbonate or Silica as Abrasives
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Purified water, Fresh MFP/CaCO3 toothpaste, and 3 other interventions for Dental Fluorosis. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The risk of dental fluorosis development is related to the systemic exposure to fluoride during enamel formation. Currently, diet and fluoride toothpastes are the main sources of fluoride to children at the age-risk for fluorosis development. However, when estimating the risk of fluorosis from toothpaste inadvertently ingested, it has not been considered the systemic fluoride bioavailability. Since some toothpaste formulations may contain part of fluoride as insoluble salts, the hypothesis behind this study is that only soluble fluoride in toothpastes would be absorbed when they are inadvertently ingested. To test that, adult volunteers will ingest a standardized dose of total fluoride from commercially available toothpastes, which present different concentrations of soluble fluoride. Fluoride systemic bioavailability will be assessed by the release of fluoride in saliva up to 3 hours after ingestion (as an indicator of blood fluoride) and by urinary fluoride excretion.

Interventions
Ingestion of 30 mL of purified water
Ingestion of 31.9 mg of a fresh toothpaste containing 1450 ppm total fluoride per kg body weight, diluted in 30 mL of purified water, to provide a total intake of 49.5 ug of fluoride/kg body weight.
Ingestion of 49.5 mg of a fresh toothpaste containing 1100 ppm total fluoride per kg body weight, diluted in 30 mL of purified water, to provide a total intake of 49.5 ug of fluoride/kg body weight.
Ingestion of 49.5 mg of a toothpaste containing 1100 ppm total fluoride per kg body weight, diluted in 30 mL of purified water, to provide a total intake of 49.5 ug of fluoride/kg body weight. The toothpaste had been previously aged to simulate one year storage at room temperature.
