Evaluation of Topical Fluoride Preparations
Journal of Dental Research, 1990For practical reasons, evaluation of topical fluoride products must depend upon clinical and laboratory assessments. While not always a good predictor of clinical efficacy by itself, fluoride uptake is the most commonly used laboratory test. A consideration of the relationship between possible anticaries mechanisms of fluoride, different product types,

Evaluation of the Use of Topical Fluoride Gel
Caries Research, 2009Professionally applied topical fluoride should be used judiciously and is indicated only in patients with moderate or high caries activity. While the anticaries effectiveness of acidulated phosphate fluoride gels has been clinically documented, the 2% neutral NaF gel has not been adequately tested, and further clinical verification is needed. Daily use

A review on fluoride varnishes: an alternative topical fluoride treatment
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1982Abstract The in vitro, in vivo and clinical research on topical fluoride varnishes is surveyed. The probable mechanism of action for fluoride varnishes is discussed and this effect demonstrated from the results of in vitro and in vivo research. Findings from clinical studies are summarized and selected results are used to estimate expected preventive ...

The effect of topical fluorides on ceramic brackets
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1994Topical fluorides are frequently prescribed to orthodontic patients to minimize development of initial carious lesions around brackets and bands. However, various topical fluorides are reported to cause surface changes and weight loss of dental materials composed of ceramic elements. Little is known of the effects of these fluorides on ceramic brackets.

Antiplaque Potential of Topical Stannous Fluoride
Journal of Dental Research, 1977Sterile enamel samples treated by topical application of 10% stannous fluoride were incubated with S mutans and S sanguis respectively and with a mixed culture to which L casei had been added. The results were compared with sterile nonfluoridated enamel samples subjected to the same procedures.

Proceedings of the Finnish Dental Society. Suomen Hammaslaakariseuran toimituksia, 1990
Fluoride is currently conceived as acting for the most part topically, reducing dissolution and enhancing remineralization of the enamel. The introduction of small amounts of fluoride into the mouth as often as possible is therefore important.

Fixation of Topically Applied Fluoride in Enamel
Journal of Dental Research, 1967It has recently been shown that a portion of the topically applied fluoride which deposits in intact surface enamel will leach away,"12 and that the net increase in firmly fixed fluoride is considerably less than that suggested from in vitro experiments.

The AADOCR Position Statement on Topical Fluoride
Journal of Dental ResearchTopical fluorides play a critical role in the prevention and management of dental caries and have been a cornerstone of evidence-based oral health promotion for decades. A rigorous understanding of the improved acid resistance of fluorapatite, with more recent evidence of the antimicrobial actions of fluorides, has helped establish its key role in ...

Topical Use of Fluorides for Caries Control
2011Since the early findings on the protective effects of fluoride present in drinking water upon caries incidence and prevalence, intensive research has been conducted in order to determine the benefits, safety, as well as the cost-effectiveness of other modalities of fluoride delivery. The present chapter reviews the various forms of topical fluoride use

Topical Fluorides: A Discussion of Risks and Benefits
Journal of Dental Research, 1987Inadvertent ingestion of fluoride from topical procedures poses the risk of dental fluorosis in age-susceptible users. This risk can be minimized for mouthrinsing by restricting it to those above the age-susceptible limit. Operators administering topical fluoride treatments can take practical precautions that have been shown to reduce the amount of ...
