Fluorides

Inorganic salts of hydrofluoric acid, HF, in which the fluorine atom is in the -1 oxidation state. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Sodium and stannous salts are commonly used in dentifrices.

1.	Dental Caries (White Spot) 08/01/2014 - "A new, highly filled primer is currently marketed as a fluoride delivery system effective in reducing white spot lesions in orthodontic patients. " 11/01/2013 - "Thus, a constant supply of low levels of fluoride in biofilm/saliva/dental interference is considered the most beneficial in preventing dental caries." 10/01/1999 - "The widespread use of fluoride has dramatically reduced the prevalence of dental caries and the rate of the progression of carious lesions. " 01/01/1990 - "A variety of patient-applied fluoride agents are extremely effective in preventing severe radiation-associated dental decay, which is likely to occur after salivary gland dysfunction. " 06/01/1983 - "The best individual and community protection against dental decay today is offered by the proper use of fluorides. "
2.	Dentin Sensitivity 02/01/1978 - "It was concluded that topical applications of fluoride are modestly effective for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity, but the most rapid and effective relief follows fluoride iontophoresis. " 10/01/2004 - "Dentine hypersensitivity: a randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled study of the efficacy of a fluoride-sensitive teeth mouthrinse." 06/01/2013 - "Clinical evaluation of the efficacy of fluoride adhesive tape (F-PVA) in reducing dentin hypersensitivity." 07/01/2006 - "Treating cervical dentin hypersensitivity with fluoride varnish: a randomized clinical study." 01/01/2016 - "And with their ability to release fluoride locally, FBGs make interesting candidates for various clinical applications, dentinal tubule occlusion in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. "
3.	Osteoporosis 01/01/1995 - "Fluoride is a potent stimulator of trabecular bone formation which could potentially be useful in the treatment of corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis. " 01/01/1985 - "In view of the high incidence of osteoporosis and its complications, and in view of the fact that fluoride is beneficial for the treatment of osteoporosis, studies have been carried out in this research unit to determine the retention and excretion of fluoride both during a normal dietary intake of fluoride and during fluoride supplementation. " 04/04/1987 - "When such fissures occur, fluoride therapy must be discontinued and the limb put at rest, but since this side-effect is rare and usually benign the principle of a treatment that is beneficial in many cases of osteoporosis need not be revised." 10/01/1996 - "New data indicate that fluoride therapy should be re-evaluated as a potentially effective treatment of osteoporosis with minimal side effects. " 01/01/1995 - "There is controversy, however, concerning the efficacy of fluoride as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of osteoporosis. "
4.	Gingivitis 06/01/1977 - "A study to test the efficacy of two amine fluoride products in reducing the extent of plaque and the degree of gingivitis was conducted with 6th-grade school children in Pensacola, Florida. " 09/01/1978 - "Two studies were conducted to explore the effects of twice daily topical applications of NaF, SnF2, and an amine fluoride at equivalent fluoride concentrations (0.1%) upon plaque and gingivitis in the dog. " 03/01/1978 - "A study was made of the dental health of a group of 8-year-old children studied earlier as 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds, including examination of caries, gingivitis and occlusion, as well as certain data on oral habits and fluoride prophylaxis. " 05/01/2015 - "All the three mouth rinses significantly reduced plaque accumulation and gingivitis especially in caries-free subjects in comparison to those with caries, and amongst the three, fluoride and CHX proved to be more effective than EO mouth rinse." 01/01/1989 - "A release of fluorides from these deposits could be responsible for detoriation of plaque maturation and gingivitis prevention."
5.	Root Caries 01/01/2007 - "Additional fluoride appears to be a preventive and therapeutic treatment for root caries." 12/01/1990 - "The purpose of this study was to examine artificial root caries when light-cured fluoride releasing liners were placed under amalgam restorations. " 12/01/2013 - "The efficacy of fluoride on root caries progression may be dose-dependent." 12/01/1990 - "Artificial root caries in amalgam restorations: effect of light-cured fluoride releasing liners." 01/01/2015 - "For that purpose, this study evaluated the feasibility of using Cariotester as a root caries diagnostic system and capability of Cariotester to detect effect of fluoride application on inhibiting dentin demineralization.
