To date, many of the ways of controlling tooth decay involve the use of fluorides. Either systemically via fluoridated water and tablets, or, topically, with fluoride-containing toothpaste and mouthrinses. There is now evidence that the prevalence of dental caries is declining in communities with unfluoridated water, as well as in those with ...

BACKGROUND Water fluoridation's effectiveness has been reaffirmed by systematic reviews. However, most of the included nonrandomised controlled before and after studies were conducted pre-1975. Opportunity for such studies is limited in a steady state of

Costs And Savings Associated With Community Water Fluoridation In The United States.
Health Affairs, 2016The most comprehensive study of US community water fluoridation program benefits and costs was published in 2001. This study provides updated estimates using an economic model that includes recent data on program costs, dental caries increments, and ...

Fluoride Mouthrinses and Fluoride Varnishes
Caries Research, 1993The cariostatic efficacy of rinsing with a 0.05-0.2% neutral sodium fluoride solution has been clearly demonstrated, especially in supervised school-based programmes in moderate and high caries risk children. The cost-benefit effect, however, is questionable in populations with low caries prevalence, and fluoride rinsing programmes are gradually being ...

Dental Clinics of North America, 1999
This article discusses fluoride mechanisms in relation to dental caries. The authors specifically address firmly bound versus loosely bound fluoride; different fluoride active ingredients; fluoride and demineralization and remineralization; fluoride slow-release devices and F-releasing dental materials; antimicrobial effects of fluoride; the uptake of ...

Sodium fluoride has clearly been shown to have pronounced effects on the skeleton, probably more than any other currently available therapeutic agent. Unfortunately, these effects appear to be both beneficial and potentially toxic at the same time. A more clear understanding is needed of the basic mechanisms whereby these effects (both beneficial and ...

Community water fluoridation online: an analysis of the digital media ecosystem.
Journal of Public Health Dentistry, 2018OBJECTIVES Research demonstrates the safety and efficacy of community water fluoridation (CWF). Yet, the digitization of communication has triggered the spread of inaccurate information online.

Fluorides and Non-Fluoride Remineralization Systems
2013Caries develops when the equilibrium between de- and remineralization is unbalanced favoring demineralization. De- and remineralization occur depending on the degree of saturation of the interstitial fluids with respect to the tooth mineral. This equilibrium is positively influenced when fluoride, calcium and phosphate ions are added favoring ...

Fluoride and the fluoridation of water
1982In the early years of this century a dentist in Colorado, Frederick McKay, observed that the permanent teeth of many of his patients showed either white chalky patches or lines which, in more severe cases, had a rough surface and, some years after eruption, became an unsightly yellow or brown. The condition was uncommon in the deciduous teeth.
