In spite of decades of research on fluoride and the recognition of its role as the cornerstone
of dental caries reduction in the last fifty years, questions still arise on its use at community …

Since the currently available pH-cycling models do not differentiate the anti-caries potential
of dentifrices with low fluoride (F) concentration, two models were developed and tested in …

S Since the primary effect of fluoride (F) on caries control is post-eruptive, any method of
fluoride use, to be effective, should be able to maintain a constant fluoride concentration in …

Dental caries remains highly prevalent in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACC).
However, this disease can be controlled through interventions that implement evidence …

Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PACT) promotes bacterial death as a result of the
photosensitization of microbial components. This study evaluated the effect of PACT on …

Toothpastes should have a minimum concentration of 1000 ppm of fluoride (F) to control
caries and also the active F agent must be chemically free (soluble) in the formulation. Thus …
