– Stored aqueous solutions of SnF 2 showed a reduced effect on plaque acidogenicity after 24 weeks, this being paralleled by reduced concentrations of Sn 2+ and lowered pH. The plaque inhibiting effect was, however, maintained unchanged, indicating a different mechanism for this activity. Stored solutions caused a yellow dental stain probably consisting of SnS 2 .
