Clinical Trial Summary

The remarkable therapeutic anticaries effect of fluoride is well recognized, but in recent years, toxic effects on the oral mucosa have been discussed. So far, many in vivo studies examining the genotoxic and cytotoxic effect of fluoride in human cells (lymphocytes, bone marrow, germ cells) have been carried out, but there are no studies examining the effect of fluoride on cells of the buccal mucosa. In vitro studies have shown that sodium fluoride can be toxic to fibroblasts of the oral mucosa by inhibiting protein synthesis, suppressing mitochondrial function and consequently reducing the amount of intracellular ATP. The study would include 80 participants, aged between 18 and 75. All subjects would use the same toothpaste without fluoride for the first month, and then they would be randomly divided into four groups, where three groups would receive a toothpaste with fluoride with one of the active substances (sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, amine fluoride) for the next 60 days, while the control group would continue to use the toothpaste without fluorine. Swabs of the buccal mucosa would be taken at 0 (before the start of use) and 30, 45 and 60 days after the start of using the tested toothpastes. The aim of this research would be to examine the cytotoxic and genotoxic effect of toothpastes containing fluoride with different active substances and to compare their effect. As a measure of genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in cells, the micronucleus test will be used.
