PreviDent 5000 Fluoride Toothpaste

Link to Colgate

PreviDent5000 is a prescription fluoride toothpaste that is formulated with 1.1% sodium fluoride.  It is recommended for patients with high caries risk, restorative treatments, and orthodontic decalicification.  Patient will be instructed to brush with the toothpaste for 2 minute before bed.  I do recommend patients to spit out the toothpaste but not to rinse with water to maximize the benefit of using fluoride toothpaste.  

Reversal of primary root caries using dentifrices containing 5,000 and 1,100 ppm fluoride. Caries Research. 2001
This study compared the ability of two toothpastes containing sodium fluoride.  One has 5,000 ppm fluoride (Prevident 5000) and other one has 1,100 ppm fluoride.  Average over the counter toothpastes has 1,100 ppm fluoride concentration.  The study found that the toothpaste containing 5,000 ppm fluoride worked better than 1,1000 ppm toothpaste in remineralizing the root caries lesions.
