[Caries prevention by means of local fluoride application]
Abstract
The topical application of fluoride has developed into an effective health-saving measure for the individual and the collective prevention of caries. A reduction in caries increment of 30 to 40% may be expected. With reference to the mode of action of topically applied fluorides on dental enamel and plaques, methods and preparations are recommended for acceptance in the framework of socialist health protection.
