Purpose
The risk of dental fluorosis development is related to the systemic exposure to fluoride during enamel formation. Currently, diet and fluoride toothpastes are the main sources of fluoride to children at the age-risk for fluorosis development. However, when estimating the risk of fluorosis from toothpaste inadvertently ingested, it has not been considered the systemic fluoride bioavailability. Since some toothpaste formulations may contain part of fluoride as insoluble salts, the hypothesis behind this study is that only soluble fluoride in toothpastes would be absorbed when they are inadvertently ingested. To test that, adult volunteers will ingest a standardized dose of total fluoride from commercially available toothpastes, which present different concentrations of soluble fluoride. Fluoride systemic bioavailability will be assessed by the release of fluoride in saliva up to 3 hours after ingestion (as an indicator of blood fluoride) and by urinary fluoride excretion.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Area under the curve of salivary fluoride concentration versus time after toothpaste ingestion [ Time Frame: 3 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Saliva will be collected before and up to 3 hours after ingestion of the toothpastes or negative control. Collections (during 3 min) will be made at 0 (immediately before ingestion), 15, 30, 45, 60, 120 and 180 min after ingestion.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Maximum concentration of fluoride in saliva after toothpaste ingestion [ Time Frame: 3 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Saliva collected up to 3 hours after the ingestion of toothpastes or negative control will be analyzed for fluoride concentration and the maximum concentration during this period will be recorded.
- Urinary fluoride excretion (24-h) after toothpaste ingestion [ Time Frame: 48 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Urine will be collected for the 24 hours preceeding the ingestion of the toothpastes or negative control and for the 24 hours after the ingestion. The difference in the amount of fluoride excreted in 24h urine samples, after or before the treatments, will be calculated.
