“…Arakawa [1994] suggested the possibility of a once-a-week rinse for 5-year-olds. Ericsson and Forsman [1969] and Forsman [1974] proposed shortening the rinsing time from 60 to 30 s. At the moment, once-a-week 30-second mouthrinsing is in general use in kindergartens in Japan.…”

Intra-Oral Fluoride Retention 3 Minutes after Fluoride Mouthrinsing in 4- to 5-Year-Old Children: Effects of Fluoride Concentration and Rinsing Time

This study was undertaken to explore the site-specific retention rate and the possibility of shortening fluoride (F) mouthrinsing time of kindergarten children. Fluoride retention after 10-, 20- and 30-second mouthrinsing was determined in 43 kindergarten children aged 4–5 years. Tooth surfaces were sampled by a paper point method. Fluoride concentrations in the salivary film on tooth surfaces increased from primary molars to primary incisors in the maxilla and decreased from primary molars to primary incisors in the mandible. The fluoride solution reached the primary molars even after a 10-second rinse, but F concentrations were higher after 20 s than after 10 s and significantly higher after 30 s than after 10 s. No significant difference was observed between 20 and 30 s. The average total F retained in the mouth was 0.13 mg after 20 s and 0.17 mg after 30 s. It was concluded that 30-second mouthrinsing, which is used extensively in Japanese kindergartens, can be shortened to 20 s.

“…Varying amounts of the dentifrice are always swal lowed during toothbrushing [Ericsson, 1961;Barnhardt et al, 1974, and others], F ingested in this way may play a significant role in children whose swallowing reflexes are not as developed and controlled as those of normal adults and whose teeth are still under development [Ericsson and Forsman, 1969], A child using fluoridated toothpaste in conjunction with an optimum F intake from either fluoridated drinking water or a prescribed F supplement program may reach an unexpectedly high intake of F ev ery time toothbrushing is performed. It is, therefore, important to get quantitative in formation regarding the degree of absorp tion of F from F dentifrices.…”

The bioavailability of fluoride (F) from NaF and Na₂PO₃F dentifrices was studied in detail in young volunteers. The method used was based on a comparison of plasma and urinary data obtained following intravenous administration of a single 3-mg dose F and ingestion of 6 g (6 mg F) of two different F dentifrices on three separate occasions. The plasma data indicated a higher degree of F bioavailability from the NaF dentifrice (111 ± 13%, SD, n = 4) as compared with theNa₂P0₃F dentifrice (96 ± 16%, SD, n = 4). Since the absorption of F from the F dentifrices was essentially total it is concluded that F dentifrices may play an important part in the daily exposure of children to F.

“…Mouth rinses with 10 ml are usually employed [Torell and E ricsson, 1965;E vang, 1970;Loe and Rindom Schiott, 1970;F lotra et al, 1971], while 7 ml fluid has been suggested especially for younger children [Ericsson and F orsman, 1969].…”

2-min mouth rinses with 7 and 10 ml 0.05% NaF were carried out by 9 adults and 24 children (10–11 years old). Each person rinsed 5 times with , fluoride each volume. The oral expectorate with the rinsing solu tion was then weighed. The fluoride ion activity of the expectorates was determined, and retention of fluoride (μg and %) was calculated. Significantly higher fluoride ion activity with 10 than with 7 ml was obtained both by the adults (14.7 ± 6.5 ppm F^-) and the children (9.0 ± 5.7 ppm F^-). The differences in retention with 10 vs. 7 ml rinses were significant: 64 ± 30μg (n = 9) and 89 ± 81 μg (n = 24). The percentage retention with 7 ml was 15.4 ± 2.6 (n = 9) and 14.1 ± 4.8 (n = 24), the corresponding values with 10ml were 13.6 ± 2.2 and 13.8 + 3.6. Each subject seemed to have a pattern in the amount of expectorated fluid and fluoride ion activity with the 7- and 10-ml volumes, whereas no retention pattern was indicated. The findings indicate that in programs using fluoride mouth rinses, 7 ml are preferable to 10 ml, as (1) reduced amounts of swallowed fluid probably cause decreased retention and (2) the anti-caries effect seems to be equal.
