“…In this respect, fluoride-containing toothpastes and gels can provide anticaries effects by influencing dental plaque and enamel. Clinical and experimental studies have suggested that topical applications of amine fluorides increase the fluoride concentration, promote the remineralization of enamel, and decrease the amount of dental plaque [Klinger and Weideman, 1986;Bá nó czy et al, 1989;Hellwig, 1992].…”

The aim of the study was to establish a preventive program with the combined use of amine fluoride toothpaste and gel in groups of adolescents living in different locations in Hungary. Caries and oral hygiene examinations were performed at the beginning of the study and repeated after 1 and 2 years. The adolescents were divided into 3 groups: 1 control and 2 test groups. The control group continued its usual oral care habits. One of the test groups received Elmex toothpaste for unsupervised home use daily and Elmex gel for use once a week, and the other test group received Elmex toothpaste and only placebo gel. The combined use of amine fluoride-containing toothpaste and gel provided a significant reduction in DMFS mean values (38% including white spot lesions, 34% not including white spot lesions, p < 0.05) and in visible plaque index values (18%, p < 0.05) compared to the control group.

“…Used as topical agent, AmF presents advantages when compared with other fluoride compounds. The CaF2-protective layer obtained by AmF treatment contains approximately 2-3 times more fluoride and is more stable than that obtained with inorganic fluorides [3,11,13]. Because of their pronounced physical affinity for enamel, AmF may enrich enamel with fluoride even when used at low concentrations [3,14].…”

A randomized double-blind clinical trial was undertaken in a nonfluoridated community to assess the effectiveness of a minimal preventive intervention based on biannual applications of an amine fluoride (AmF) solution containing 1% fluoride. A total of 284 schoolchildren aged 6 years were recruited from a primary school in Milan, Italy, and randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. The subjects of the experimental group received two applications each year of AmF to the permanent first molars and the control group subjects received similar applications of a placebo solution. Both in the experimental and control groups caries experience (DMFT) of the first molars was recorded every 6 months for 5 years. The mean DMFT scores in the experimental and control group were, respectively, 0.56 and 0.22 at the beginning and 1.14 and 1.75 at the end of the study. The preventive effect of the treatment became statistically significant only after 3 years. Survival analysis performed on the first molars that were sound at baseline showed that the topical AmF treatment caused, after 5 years, a significant reduction of caries incidence. This result confirms observations found in the international literature on the anticaries action of AmF. The administration rate used in this study seems to be useful for community preventive applications as it reduces the total amount of fluoride administered and the potential risks, and involves few personnel.

“…Researchers have speculated that amine fluoride, a surface‐active fluoride typically formulated to act at a low pH, might deliver more fluoride to enamel than other fluoride compounds under in vitro testing conditions but this does not take account for the buffering effects of saliva 42,43 .…”
