    <P>The active ingredient of the product consists of any of the following when used in the concentration and dosage form established for each ingredient:</P>
    <P>(a) <E T="03">Sodium fluoride</E>—(1) <E T="03">Dentifrices containing 850 to 1,150 ppm theoretical total fluorine in a gel or paste dosage form</E>. Sodium fluoride 0.188 to 0.254 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration ≥ 650 parts per million (ppm).</P>
    <P>(2) <E T="03">Dentifrices containing 850 to 1,150 ppm theoretical total fluorine in a powdered dosage form</E>. Sodium fluoride 0.188 to 0.254 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration of ≥ 850 ppm for products containing the abrasive sodium bicarbonate and a poured-bulk density of 1.0 to 1.2 grams per milliliter.</P>
    <P>(3) <E T="03">Treatment rinses</E>. (i) An aqueous solution of acidulated phosphate fluoride derived from sodium fluoride acidulated with a mixture of sodium phosphate, monobasic, and phosphoric acid to a level of 0.1 molar phosphate ion and a pH of 3.0 to 4.5 and which yields an effective fluoride ion concentration of 0.02 percent.</P>
    <P>(ii) An aqueous solution of acidulated phosphate fluoride derived from sodium fluoride acidulated with a mixture of sodium phosphate, dibasic, and phosphoric acid to a pH of 3.5 and which yields an effective fluoride ion concentration of 0.01 percent.</P>
    <P>(iii) Sodium fluoride 0.02 percent aqueous solution with a pH of approximately 7.</P>
    <P>(iv) Sodium fluoride 0.05 percent aqueous solution with a pH of approximately 7.</P>

    <P>(v) Sodium fluoride concentrate containing adequate directions for mixing with water before using to result in a 0.02-percent or 0.05-percent aqueous solution with a pH of approximately 7.<PRTPAGE P="286"/>
    </P>
    <P>(b) <E T="03">Sodium monofluorophosphate</E>—(1) <E T="03">Dentifrices containing 850 to 1,150 ppm theoretical total fluorine in a gel or paste dosage form</E>. Sodium monofluorophosphate 0.654 to 0.884 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration (consisting of PO<E T="52">3</E> F<E T="51">=</E> and F<E T="51">-</E> combined) ≥ 800 ppm.</P>
    <P>(2) <E T="03">Dentifrices containing 1,500 ppm theoretical total fluorine in a gel or paste dosage form</E>. Sodium monofluorophosphate 1.153 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration (consisting of PO<E T="52">3</E> F<E T="51">=</E> and F<E T="51">-</E> combined) ≥ 1,275 ppm.</P>
    <P>(c) <E T="03">Stannous fluoride</E>—(1) <E T="03">Dentifrices containing 850 to 1,150 ppm theoretical total fluorine in a gel or paste dosage form</E>. (i) Stannous fluoride 0.351 to 0.474 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration ≥ 700 ppm for products containing abrasives other than calcium pyrophosphate.</P>
    <P>(ii) Stannous fluoride 0.351 to 0.474 percent with an available fluoride ion concentration ≥ 290 ppm for products containing the abrasive calcium pyrophosphate.</P>
    <P>(2) <E T="03">Preventive treatment gel</E>. Stannous fluoride 0.4 percent in an anhydrous glycerin gel, made from anhydrous glycerin and the addition of suitable thickening agents to adjust viscosity.</P>
    <P>(3) <E T="03">Treatment rinse</E>. Stannous fluoride concentrate marketed in a stable form and containing adequate directions for mixing with water immediately before using to result in a 0.1-percent aqueous solution.</P>
