[Simple model explaining the caries inhibiting effect of fluoride].

G Rølla, B Ogaard

    Den Norske Tannlaegeforenings Tidende
    |November 1, 1990
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fluoride in plaque fluid affects enamel dissolution pH. Even with fluoride, improved oral hygiene can prevent enamel erosion in high-risk individuals by managing plaque pH.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Dental Science
    • Materials Science

    Context:

    • Dental plaque fluid's pH is a critical factor in enamel demineralization.
    • Fluoride's presence influences the pH threshold for enamel dissolution.
    • Accumulated plaque can lead to critically low pH levels, impacting even fluorapatite.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the interplay between fluoride, plaque pH, and enamel dissolution.
    • To determine the role of oral hygiene in mitigating caries risk.
    • To understand the conditions under which fluorapatite may dissolve.

    Summary:

    • Enamel dissolution pH is modulated by fluoride within plaque fluid.
    • Critically low pH in aged plaque can cause fluorapatite dissolution.
    • Enhanced oral hygiene is crucial for reducing caries, even with fluoride exposure.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of oral hygiene beyond fluoride's protective effects.
    • Suggests strategies for caries prevention in high-risk populations.
    • Informs understanding of mineral dissolution dynamics in oral environments.
