  • Title: [Fluoride prophylaxis a distant reality again?].
    Author: Rini MS, D'Urso G.
    Journal: Prev Assist Dent; 1991; 17(3):19-22. PubMed ID: 1946065.
    Abstract:
    The fluorine-prophylaxis is the caries only real therapeutic protection. The fluorine modifies calcificated tissues composition and property (hydroxyapatite----fluorapatite) and it acts on the plaque bacteria metabolism. The fluorine intoxication is very rare. But interviewed parents are disinterested, fear full and bad-informed. Unfortunately the fluorine-prophylaxis and the periodic controls are a distant reality for Italy.
