  • Title: Fluoride: a review--Part II: Topical fluorides.
    Author: Duncan TB, Duncan WK, De Ball S.
    Journal: Miss Dent Assoc J; 1999; 55(1):34-6. PubMed ID: 10752450.
    Abstract:
    Fluoride therapy continues to be the best defense in the battle against dental caries. The decision to utilize topical fluorides is no longer age dependent. Changing disease patterns require dentists to critically evaluate the caries risk of each patient and develop a fluoride treatment plan based upon the needs of the individual patient. A variety of professional and self-applied fluoride products are available and new fluoride delivery systems have recently entered the market. A critical review of literature, combined with an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each topical fluoride system will assist the dentist in selecting the product best suited for each patient.
