Stannous fluoride works in two ways to deliver anti-decay benefits.
Fluoride inhibits demineralisation and enhances remineralisation of enamel.
Stannous fluoride exhibits strong reactivity with enamel and root surfaces, forming resistant, insoluble precipitates to provide further protection.
It has long lasting anti-bacterial benefits, especially against Step. mutans, which causes caries.
Laboratory and clinical studies have confirmed its capacity to inhibit bacterial growth, reduce bacterial ability to adhere to tooth and gum surfaces and to affect their metabolic processes.
