– The present study contains data from a 4‐week clinical study where the effect of an experimental toothpaste containing 0.4% SnF 2 on plaque and gingivitis was tested in a group of teenagers. The study was performed according to a double‐blind, cross‐over design. It was shown that the SnF 2 containing toothpaste reduced both plaque and gingivitis significantly compared to a placebo paste which contained no fluoride or stannous ions.
