A five‐day study in 48 subjects, conducted in the absence of customary oral hygiene, measured the effects of a single topical application of stannous fluoride or acidulated phosphate fluoride alone or in a 1:1 combination. All fluoride concentrations were 1.25%. At the end of the study no effects on dental plaque and gingivitis were detected. During the study the flouride treatments, particularly those containing SnF 2 , temporarily restricted the ability of the saliva to lower the pH of a sucrose solution.
