Antibacterial Effects of a Novel Stannous Fluoride Toothpaste Stabilized With Nitrate and Phosphates (SNaP): In Vitro Study and Randomized Controlled Trial.

Stannous fluoride has long been an effective antibacterial, anticaries, antisensitivity, and antigingivitis addition to toothpaste formulas. However, in the past its chemical properties in aqueous solution have made it difficult to stabilize with desirable results. The recent development of a novel formulation of 0.454% stannous fluoride stabilized with nitrate and phosphates (SNaP) has resulted in prolonged therapeutic effect without compromising product experience and esthetics.
