Compounds containing stannous ions• Numerous potentials for
applications and use in industry and healthcare
• Oral health care products
• SnCl2• SnF2
• SnF2 one of the first fluoride compounds used in toothpastes in the USA=> 1956 - „Fluoristan“ (Crest, Procter & Gamble)
• Problems with stability and following with formulation of products
• Water-free, glycerine based, and abrasive free formulations as a solution (1963)
• Problems with taste => adstringent feeling on teeth and mucosa
• Replaced by NaF, MFP

• Tin member of the carbon groupTwo configurations: Sn2+ und Sn4+
• Only Sn2+ reduces acid solubility of enamel=> Sn4+ shows nearly no effect (Wachtel et al. 1964)
• Aging of Sn-containing solutions by oxidation and hydrolysis(Muhler et al. 1952)
=> Reduction of acid solubility of enamel by approximately50% after 13 days of aging

Basic pathomechanism:
Erosive demineralisation occurs after chronic exposure of clean tooth surfaces to acidsprovided that the surrounding fluid is undersaturated with respect to tooth minerals
Clinical appearance – occlusal surfaces
Clinical appearance – smooth surfaces

Result:centripetal loss of mineral +loss of microhardness, thus increased susceptibility to abrasion

• Only few data on this issue
• negative effect on bond strength after application of NaF or basic phospho-fluoride
• Increase of adhesion

of a self-etching adhesive system in eroded dentine by application of a AmF/NaF/SnCl2-solution
