International fluoride symposium: effects of fluoride on human health and its mechanisms of action – a meeting report [PDF]

BMC Proceedings
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.

The cariostatic mechanisms of fluoride [PDF]

Acta Medica Academica, 2013
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.
