Indications and usage a dental caries preventive; for twice daily self-applied topical use. prevident® 5000 ortho defense™ 1.1% sodium fluoride toothpaste in a squeeze bottle is easily applied onto a toothbrush. this prescription toothpaste should be used twice daily in place of your regular toothpaste unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional. may be used in areas where drinking water is fluoridated since topical fluoride cannot produce fluorosis. (see warnings for exception.)

Warnings prolonged daily ingestion may result in various degrees of dental fluorosis in pediatric patients under age 6 years, especially if the water fluoridation exceeds 0.6 ppm, since younger pediatric patients frequently cannot perform the brushing process without significant swallowing. use in pediatric patients under age 6 years requires special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of toothpaste which could cause dental fluorosis. pediatric patients under age 12 should be supervised in the use of this product. read directions carefully before using. keep out of reach of infants and children.

General not for systemic treatment. do not swallow.

Dosage and administration follow these instructions unless otherwise instructed by your dental professional: 1. adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age or older, apply a thin ribbon of prevident® 5000 ortho defense™ to a toothbrush. brush teeth thoroughly twice daily for two minutes in place of your regular toothpaste. 2. after use, adults expectorate. for best results, do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes. pediatric patients, age 6-16, expectorate after use and rinse mouth thoroughly.

Contraindications do not use in pediatric patients under age 6 years unless recommended by a dentist or physician.

Adverse reactions allergic reactions and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported.

Pregnancy teratogenic effects pregnancy category b it has been shown that fluoride crosses the placenta of rats, but only 0.01% of the amount administered is incorporated in fetal tissue. animal studies (rats, mice, rabbits) have shown that fluoride is not a teratogen. maternal exposure to 12.2 mg fluoride/kg of body weight (rats) or 13.1 mg/kg of body weight (rabbits) did not affect the litter size or fetal weight and did not increase the frequency of skeletal or visceral malformations. there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. however, epidemiological studies conducted in areas with high levels of naturally fluoridated water showed no increase in birth defects. heavy exposure to fluoride during in utero development may result in skeletal fluorosis which becomes evident in childhood.

Pediatric use the use of prevident® 5000 ortho defense™ in pediatric age groups 6 to 16 years as a caries preventive is supported by pioneering clinical studies with 1.1% sodium fluoride gels in mouth trays in students age 11 to 14 years conducted by englander et al. 2-4 safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 6 years have not been established. please refer to the contraindications and warnings sections.

Geriatric use of the total number of subjects in clinical studies of 1.1 % (w/v) sodium fluoride, 15 percent were 65 and over, while 1 percent were 75 and over. no overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. this drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. 5

Overdosage accidental ingestion of large amounts of fluoride may result in acute burning in the mouth and sore tongue. nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur soon after ingestion (within 30 minutes) and are accompanied by salivation, hematemesis, and epigastric cramping abdominal pain. these symptoms may persist for 24 hours. if less than 5 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., less than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested, give calcium (e.g., milk) orally to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms and observe for a few hours. if more than 5 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., more than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested, induce vomiting, give orally soluble calcium (e.g., milk, 5% calcium gluconate or calcium lactate solution) and immediately seek medical assistance. for accidental ingestion of more than 15 mg fluoride/kg of body weight (i.e., more than 6.9 mg fluoride/lb body weight), induce vomiting and admit immediately to a hospital facility. a treatment dose (a thin ribbon) of prevident® 5000 ortho defense™ contains approximately 2.5 mg fluoride. a 3.4 fl oz (100 ml) bottle contains approximately 605 mg fluoride.

Clinical pharmacology frequent topical applications to the teeth with preparations having a relatively high fluoride content increase tooth resistance to acid dissolution and enhance penetration of the fluoride ion into tooth enamel.

Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility in a study conducted in rodents, no carcinogenesis was found in male and female mice and female rats treated with fluoride at dose levels ranging from 4.1 to 9.1 mg/kg of body weight. equivocal evidence of carcinogenesis was reported in male rats treated with 2.5 and 4.1 mg/kg of body weight. in a second study, no carcinogenesis was observed in rats, males or females, treated with fluoride up to 11.3 mg/kg of body weight. epidemiological data provide no credible evidence for an association between fluoride, either naturally occurring or added to drinking water, and risk of human cancer. fluoride ion is not mutagenic in standard bacterial systems. it has been shown that fluoride ion has potential to induce chromosome aberrations in cultured human and rodent cells at doses much higher than those to which humans are exposed. in vivo data are conflicting. some studies report chromosome damage in rodents, while other studies using similar Read more...
