Comparison of the Microhardness of Primary Dentin With Artificially Induced Caries Following the Application of Sodium Fluoride Varnish With the Intensive Technique Versus Fluoride Therapy With Silver Diamine Fluoride

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background and Objective Black discoloration is a major challenge encountered when using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). This study aimed to assess the carious primary dentin microhardness following the application of sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish with the intensive technique versus fluoride therapy with SDF ...

Updated consumer risk assessment of fluoride in food and drinking water including the contribution from other sources of oral exposure

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This updated risk assessment evaluated evidence on potential adverse health effects of fluoride related to all sources of oral exposure as mandated by the European Commission. Fluoride benefit assessment was not included. Effects on the central nervous system, thyroid and bone were prioritised.

Acid‐Resistant Glass Ionomer Cements: An Assessment of Their Mechanical Properties, Fluoride Ion Release and Protection to Surrounding Tooth Surfaces From Acid Challenges

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT New acid‐resistant glass ionomer cements (GIC) claim to be able to withstand acidic conditions while also protecting surrounding tooth structures and preserving function. Currently, there are only a few studies that assessed mechanical properties, ion release, and changes that occur around an acid‐resistant GIC–dentine bonded interface under ...

Comparative Effects of At‐Home and In‐Office Bleaching on Discoloration Due to Treatment of White Spot Lesions With Silver Diamine Fluoride

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Objectives Incipient enamel caries, known as white spot lesions (WSLs), can be prevented or halted with proper oral hygiene, diet control, and application of remineralizing agents such as silver diamine fluoride (SDF); however, dark staining is a major drawback of SDF.
