2. Fluoride varnish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_varnish

   There is some evidence that fluoride varnish treatment has a better outcome at preventing cavities at a lower cost compared to other fluoride treatments such as the fluoride mouth rinsing. For fluoride varnish treatment, the benefit to cost ratio 1.8:1, whereas fluoride mouth rinsing is 0.9:1. With fluoride varnish treatments, one can save by ...

3. Fluoride therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_therapy

   The principle of fluoride varnish is to apply fluoride salt in a very high concentration (approximately 50,000 ppm) onto the surface of the teeth. [36] Fluoride varnish is a resin-based application that is designed to stay on the surface of the teeth for several hours.

4. Topical fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topical_fluoride

   Topical fluorides are fluoride-containing drugs indicated in prevention and treatment of dental caries, particularly in children's primary dentitions. [1] The dental-protecting property of topical fluoride can be attributed to multiple mechanisms of action, including the promotion of remineralization of decalcified enamel, the inhibition of the cariogenic microbial metabolism in dental plaque ...

5. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   When fluoride ions are present in plaque fluid along with dissolved hydroxyapatite, and the pH is higher than 4.5, [16] a fluorapatite-like remineralised veneer is formed over the remaining surface of the enamel; this veneer is much more acid-resistant than the original hydroxyapatite, and is formed more quickly than ordinary remineralised ...

6. Dental compomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_compomer

   Sustained fluoride release with the potential to act as a fluoride reservoir (recharges when it becomes depleted of fluoride, see 'Fluoride release' in Properties section above for more details) [2] The compressive and tensile strength of compomer cements are comparable to that of glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, and zinc ...

7. Dental fluorosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_fluorosis

   Dental fluorosis is a common [2] disorder, characterized by hypocalcification of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation. [ 3 ] [ needs update ] It appears as a range of visual changes in enamel [ 4 ] causing degrees of intrinsic tooth discoloration , and, in some cases, physical damage to the teeth.
