Fluoride and Caries Prevention 3 articles

Fluoride and Caries Prevention concerns how topical fluoride is used to reduce caries risk and support remineralisation of early lesions. Toothpaste concentration, varnish, mouthrinse and higher-fluoride preparations need to be considered alongside age, exposure from other sources and individual risk, especially for non-cavitated lesions and root surfaces. Preventive fluoride use is the centre of the topic; diagnosis and operative restoration begin once the clinical question is no longer prevention alone.
