  • Title: Update in systemic fluoride therapy.
    Author: Weesner BW.
    Journal: J Tenn Dent Assoc; 1995 Jan; 75(1):8-11. PubMed ID: 9520774.
    Abstract:
    The dental literature abounds with articles demonstrating drastic reductions in dental caries activity as a result of fluoride therapy. Recently, there has been concern over the number of fluorosis cases being seen. The prudent dental practitioner will utilize only approved products for systemic fluoride therapy, be aware of other possible sources of fluoride, and known the patient's fluoride intake before prescribing supplementation in order to avoid fluorosis and possible litigation.
