  • Title: Fluoride-releasing materials and their adhesive characteristics.
    Author: Burgess JO.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2008 Mar; 29(2):82-4, 86, 88-91; quiz 93-4. PubMed ID: 18429423.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses fluoride-releasing materials, including their caries-inhibiting properties and clinical longevity, as well as provides useful application tips. Based on results from clinical trials, there is growing evidence that fluoride-releasing materials, particularly glass ionomers, reduce the occurrence of recurrent caries. As such, they should be employed-especially in the case of high caries-risk patients-as part of an overall treatment plan for maximum care.
