Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2007sodium fluoride vs stannous fluoride?
Is there any difference in using a sodium fluoride gel vs. a stannous fluoride in preventing cavities and sensativity, or are they equally efficient? Assume both have a similar percentage of flouride. Thanks. Those are switched depending on the abrasive used in the dentifrice. > Is there any difference in using a sodium fluoride gel vs. a stannous > fluoride in preventing cavities and sensativity, or are they equally > efficient?

I remember it was the original formulation of Crest, with "Floristan". I believe sodium fluoride may be more stable and have a longer shelf life. But I believe you're right--it is the abrasive used that determines the best form of fluoride.
