Abstract The goal of search determine the effect of use commercially chewing gums on fluoride kinetics in saliva. Using of three commercially chewing gums with fluoride from local markets, contains 3.38 mg of fluoride as marketed sodium mono fluorophosphates (NaMFP), Stannous fluoride (SnF2) and sodium fluoride (NaF) which are the three most common sources of fluoride used in currently fluoride dentifrices. Fifteen 7–9 year-old volunteers were instructed to chew the fluoridated gums. After starting chewing saliva collected at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 15 minutes. The Salivary fluoride analyzed by using of fluoride-specific electrode (201Fluoride E. Hanna instruments) after acid hydrolysis. The fluoride amount in the saliva samples after the use of chewing gum which contains Sodium mono-fluorophosphates (NaMFP) and Stanous fluoride (SnF2), were 0.328 mg and 0.258 mg respectively which higher than after the use of chewing gum contains sodium fluoride (NaF) which was 0.041mg in all experimental periods. The high fluoride presence in saliva after the use of chewing gum of (NaMFP) and (SnF2), are significant to prevent dental caries and this should be evaluated in clinical researches.
