• A History and Update of Fluoride Dentifrices
  J. S. Wefel, PhD
  Continuing Education Units: 2 hours
  Date Course Online: 12/19/2006
• This course is a review and update of cosmetic and therapeutic dentifrices, their impact on market shares and the development of multi-benefit dentifrice technologies. The first therapeutic dentifrice contained fluoride and entered into the market place in the mid 1950's. The public was not convinced of the importance of such a product until the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance was awarded to a product in 1964. Both public and market pressures have resulted in a continued development of new and improved products which not only have therapeutic value but also cosmetic value.
