01/01/1998 - "The objective of this double-blind clinical study, conducted following the Volpe-Manhold design for studies of dental calculus, was to investigate the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 2% zinc citrate and 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate in a silica base (zinc citrate dentifrice) as compared to a control dentifrice containing 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate in a silica base (control dentifrice). "
01/01/2015 - "To assess the efficacy of an experimental 1450 ppm fluoride as sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP)/zinc-based dentifrice (Test), a clinically proven 1450 ppm fluoride as SMFP/zinc-based dentifrice (Positive Control), and a 1000 ppm fluoride as SMFP and 450 ppm fluoride as sodium fluoride (NaF) dentifrice (Negative Control) in delivering 12-hour anti-tartar benefits as measured by calcium buildup after a single product brushing. "
01/01/1998 - "In the second organoleptic study, a dentifrice containing 65% baking soda demonstrated significantly greater ability to reduce breath odor than a standard sodium fluoride/silica tartar control dentifrice, but did not differ significantly from a standard dentifrice containing 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate in a dicalcium phosphate dihydrate base. "
01/01/1994 - "The effect of a dentifrice containing 5.0% potassium nitrate, 1.3% soluble pyrophosphate, 1.5% PVM/MA copolymer, and 0.243% sodium fluoride in a silica base (Sensitive/Tartar Control) on dentinal hypersensitivity over a twelve-week period was compared to a commercially available dentifrice containing 5% potassium nitrate and 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate in a dicalcium phosphate dihydrate base (Sensodyne-F). "

Therapies and Procedures

1. Debridement
04/19/2022 - "The assessment carried out in cases requiring combined treatment with surgical or non-surgical debridement and also in patients with supraor subgingival dental calculus found out that SOD activity was reliably reduced only in cases with VD stage II. CAT activity assessment in OF in VD patients having different levels of CPITN showed that the above activity in persons requiring combined treatment (including prosthodontic treatment; CPITN≥3.1points) was markedly and reliably reduced. "
10/01/1997 - "Future research in calculus may include the development of improved supragingival tartar control formulations, the development of treatments for the prevention of subgingival calculus formation, the development of improved methods for root detoxification and debridement and the development and application of sensitive diagnostic methods to assess subgingival debridement efficacy."
01/01/1996 - "The clinical benefits of tartar control toothpastes may not only include reductions in cosmetically objectionable supragingival calculus, but in reducing professional effort in calculus debridement during regular prophylaxis."
01/01/1996 - "In this paper, a method is described for applying the Quanticalc (QC) dental scaler to the clinical assessment of tartar control dentifrice effects on supragingival calculus formation and therapist efforts required in subsequent calculus debridement. "
01/01/1996 - "These results demonstrate that: 1) the QC dental scaler can be effectively used in the clinical assessment of scaling forces/efforts associated with supragingival calculus debridement; and 2) a tartar control dentifrice containing soluble pyrophosphate is clinically effective in reducing both the surface coverage of calculus and the therapist effort required in subsequent calculus debridement."
