  • Title: Influence of alkaline pH on the effectiveness of sodium fluoride dentifrices.
    Author: Ennever J, Peterson JK, Hester WR, Segreto VA, Radike AW.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1980 Apr; 59(4):658-61. PubMed ID: 6928417.
    Abstract:
    Two similar sodium fluoride dentifrices, one neutral and one alkaline, were compared to a placebo for clinical effectiveness in reducing caries. The neutral dentifrice contained 35% less soluble fluoride than the alkaline dentifrice. Both fluoride dentifrices were significantly effective but were not different from each other.
