This paper aims to assess systematic reviews on the cariespreventive effect of topical fluorides, identifying key content and reporting quality issues to be considered by researchers planning a review in this area. Published systematic reviews and meta-analyses of any topical fluoride intervention for caries control were included. Relevant databases were searched (December 2009), along with ref...

AIM To assess the effect of combined use of chlorhexidine and fluoride varnish on the remineralization of incipient carious lesions in young children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty caries-active children (80 lesions) were randomly divided into four groups and subjected to initial examination. Caries status was assessed visually and with the aid of DIAGNOdent. Baseline enamel biopsies were obta...

The prevalence of dental fluorosis has increased since the 1930s in both fluoridated and nonfluoridated United States communities because of increased exposure to systemic fluorides. 1-4 Although the increase in dental fluorosis is of the mild and very mild categories and poses no immediate health problem, more severe levels are of esthetic concern and may threaten the continued use of systemic...

purpose : fluoroquinolones are widely used antibiotic for prophylaxis of intra and postoperative infections in individuals undergoing cataract surgery. this study was designed to assess the penetration of ciprofloxacin into the ocular aqueous humor (topical only versus topical and oral administration). methods : studied population (n=47) consisted of two groups: group one (n=26) and group two (...

Background and aim: Psoriasis is one of the most common papulosquamous diseases that often requires long-term maintenance therapy. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids on the face and intertriginous areas will increase the risk of steroids side effects such as striae and atrophy development. A safe, effective and inexpensive modality in topical therapy of inverse psoriasis is required...

Several properties of the fluoride ion at physiological concentrations are known which may be concerned with its actions in reducing dental caries. T h e properties that have been most thoroughly studied as a basis of the anticaries action are: (I) the incorporation of fluoride in the hydroxyapatite of the calcified tissues, both during and after their formation, thus increasing the proportion ...
