International fluoride symposium: effects of fluoride on human health and its mechanisms of action – a meeting report [PDF]
Fluoride prevents dental caries in a dose–response manner, leading some countries to adjust fluoride levels in water or table salt, as well as to promote the widespread use of topical fluoride.

Incorporation of Fluoride into Human Teeth after Immersion in Fluoride-Containing Solutions
Toothpastes and mouth rinses contain fluoride as a protective agent against caries. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of fluoride-uptake by human tooth mineral during immersion into fluoride-containing aqueous solutions as different pH ...

On the Solubility and Stability of Polyvinylidene Fluoride
This literature review covers the solubility and processability of fluoropolymer polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF). Fluoropolymers consist of a carbon backbone chain with multiple connected C–F bonds; they are typically nonreactive and nontoxic and have ...

A conceptual model on caregivers’ hesitancy of topical fluoride for their children
Background Topical fluoride hesitancy is a well-documented and growing public health problem. Despite extensive evidence that topical fluoride is safe and prevents tooth decay, an increasing number of caregivers are hesitant about their children ...

The cariostatic mechanisms of fluoride [PDF]
This article discusses the possible cariostatic mechanisms of the action of fluoride. In the past, fluoride inhibition of caries was ascribed to reduced solubility of enamel due to incorporation of fluoride (F–) into the enamel minerals.
