Abstract
Fluoride toothpaste is not only sold globally but also has a global trend in domestic toothpaste products. This study is to compare whether the total fluoride (TF) of adult fluoride toothpaste in Korea is compatible with the
standard indicated by the manufacturer. Therefore, this study was performed by Fluorine (19F) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to quantify the fluoride contained in seven fluoride toothpastes. The
results were 1128 ppm (2080 pure), 929 ppm (anti-plaque), 1091 ppm (bamboo). 1033 ppm (double action), 597 ppm (perioe), 198 ppm (pleasia), and 1131ppm (smaland). In conclusion, quantitative evaluation of TF in toothpaste may lead to oral health improvement through safe toothpaste selection.
