Abstract
THE inclusion of 1 mg of fluoride per g of paste in a stannous fluoride dentifrice has led to the suggestion that chronic fluoride poisoning could arise during the prolonged use of such a preparation. Although it can be calculated that systemic fluorosis will not follow even the most abnormal use of a stannous fluoride paste this conclusion is, as yet, supported by only scanty experimental evidence.
