Oral and Dental Delivery of Fluoride: a Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fluoride ion (F) is the ionic form of the element fluorine, one of the halogen group of elements, and one of the most abundant elements found in nature. F is unique in the halogen group in terms of its affinity towards mineralized tissues and is known as a seeker of mineralized tissues. A beneficial role for topical F in the treatment of dental caries is widely accepted by many dental professionals and researchers. Initially, it was thought that F was beneficial when given systemically during tooth development but later research has shown that the topical effects are more important. Various topical delivery methods for F have been developed and this review discusses the various intraoral delivery methods, the mechanisms of action, toxicity, and the limitations of this treatment.
