Abstract
A dental hygiene preparation of very low toxicity, but with good remineralization properties and effectiveness in removing food particles and plaques from the tooth surfaces is particularly indicated for use by elderly patients and those with compromised immune systems. The preparation uses a nonfermentable sweetener in lieu of Sodium Fluoride, Sodium Monofluorophasphate or Stannous Fluoride as a caries-preventive agent in combination with Potassium Citrate and Disodium Edetate.
