Caries preventive effects of toothpastes containing monofluorophosphate and trimetaphosphate : a 3-year clinical trial . The caries-preventive effects of two toothpastes were tested in a 3-year clinical trial involving 1319 children aged 11-13 years . The test toothpastes were : 1 ) a low abrasion paste containing 0.8 % sodium monofluorophosphate ( MFP ) , and 2 ) a paste containing 3 % sodium trimetaphosphate ( TMP ) . The control toothpaste was a conventional , moderately abrasive paste containing 0.8 % sodium monofluorophosphate . The children were examined clinically and radiologically each year . Toothpaste was supplied to the children 's homes , and its use was unsupervised . Caries increments after 3 years , in terms of DMF teeth and DMF surfaces , showed no significant differences between the MFP test group ( 444 children ) and the MFP control group ( 450 children ) . However , the TMP test group ( 425 children ) had significantly higher caries increments than the MFP control group . All three groups of children showed some improvement in oral hygiene and in gingival health , but there were no significant differences between the groups .
