Abstract:

Different forms of fluoride in 38 fluoride toothpaste samples were determined by 19F solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (19F SS-NMR). The results show that the matching stability of different friction agents and fluoride is quite different. The soluble and free types are the main forms of fluoride in hydrated silica toothpaste, but newly generated insoluble solid calcium fluoride signal is observed in some calcium carbonate-based toothpastes. In addition to the influence of friction agents, in some toothpastes with functional ingredients such as hydroxyapatite, the formation of insoluble calcium fluoride is also observed. The formation of insoluble fluoride will reduce the amount of available fluoride in toothpaste. 19F SS-NMR has the characteristics of simple pretreatment, strong specificity and high sensitivity. It can quickly analyze the morphology of fluoride in fluoride toothpaste, and provide technical support for toothpaste formulation development and quality improvement.
