Evolution of professionally applied topical fluoride therapies

Abstract:
Ever since researchers first realized the benefits of fluoride as an anticaries agent, they began investigating the effect of concentrated topical fluoride applications in reducing caries. Many forms of fluoride were studied, including solutions, gels or foams of sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, organic amine fluoride, acidulated phosphate fluoride, and nonaqueous fluoride varnishes in an alcoholic solution of natural resins and difluorosilane agents covered by a polyurethane coating. All of these professionally applied topical agents have anticaries benefits, although these benefits and the ease of application vary. One trend that stands out in the evolution of professionally applied fluoride agents is the development of increasingly more user-friendly products.
