Clinpro 5000 1.1% Sodium Fluoride Anti-Cavity Toothpaste
3M ESPE

Our patients often ask us to recommend a specific toothpaste for their home use. It is reasonable for them to expect that the dentist, hygienist, or assistant be in a qualified position to make a suitable suggestion for this essential part of home care. Toothpastes must be efficient, effective, and easy to use. In addition, there are 2 additional major consumer decision points—the taste and the quantity of foaming during brushing. Should these criteria not meet the patients’ expectations, they will exhibit a resistance to using the product, thereby allowing increased dental and soft-tissue problems over time. Dental professionals have additional toothpaste parameters: abrasiveness, remineralization potential, fluoride content, fluoride-releasing potential, and more recently, whitening capacity. 3M ESPE has introduced its Clinpro 5000 1.1% sodium fluoride anti-cavity toothpaste. It is an innovative, tri-calcium phosphate, low-abrasion dentifrice that provides a gentle cleaning with whitening results. Its 1.1% sodium fluoride delivers more fluoride to the tooth and has been shown to increase surface microhardness. Clinpro 5000 contains 5,000-ppm fluoride ions, providing greater remineralization and greater fluoride uptake. In fact, it has been shown in clinical studies to strengthen teeth. Calcium and fluoride ions cannot typically coexist over an extended period of time without reacting. Clinpro 5000’s manufacturing process involves the development of a protective barrier around the calcium that permits it to remain stable in the presence of fluoride ions. Once this mixture contacts saliva, however, during toothbrushing in the patient’s mouth, the barrier breaks down, making the fluoride, calcium, and phosphate readily available to the tooth. Clinpro 5000 provides safe and effective cleansing for exposed root surfaces, particularly in older patients. For more information, visit 3mespe.com.
