The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fluoride dose response of different dentifrice fluoride concentrations - 0, 250, 1100 and 2800 ppm fluoride as sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) and a fifth leg of 1100 ppm Stannous Fluoride (SnF2) using an in situ caries model.

Enamel Fluoride Uptake (EFU)
The EFU test will evaluate the level of fluoride in partially demineralized enamel specimens via the microdrill enamel biopsy technique by \[Sakkab et al., 1984\]. The calculated scores will be measured in μg F/cm2.
Time frame: Evaluations will occur after 21 days of product use
Enamel Fluoride Uptake (EFU)
The EFU test will evaluate the level of fluoride in partially demineralized enamel specimens via the microdrill enamel biopsy technique by \[Sakkab et al., 1984\]. The calculated scores will be measured in μg F/cm2.
Time frame: Evaluations will occur after 7 days of product use
Percent Surface Microhardness (SMH)
The SMH test will evaluate changes in the mineral status of partially demineralized enamel specimens through use of a Wilson 2100 Hardness Tester. These scores will be calculated as a percent.
Time frame: Evaluations will occur after 7 days of product use
