The essence of the preventing action of fl uorides
Now a day usage of fl uorides is one of the unique scientifi cally proved methods of an eff ective caries prevention. Knowledge and understanding enhancement of the protective action of the fl uorides have dramatically changed our attitude toward the diff erent prevention methods. Topical application of the fl uoride containing dentifrices is a cornerstone of any caries prevention programs whether it is aimed at individual or communal level. A few innovation approaches to the fl uoride containing dentifrices such as an use of an amino fl uoride or a slightly acid pH level of them, have allowed us to increase dramatically their anticaries and remineralization effi ciency.
