Fluorides effects on tooth structure

Dental caries involve a complex process of demineralization and remineralization of tooth enamel due to the action of organic acids produced by the microorganisms found in the dental plaque. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the importance of the action of fluoride products on tooth enamel and how to ensure protection against the appearance of dental caries. The main mode of action of fluorine, in general, is the topical effect on the enamel surface. Even small concentrations of fluoride around the tooth inhibit demineralization and promote remineralization of the tooth surface. Incorporating fluoride (such as fluorapatite) into the enamel surface will decrease solubility and increase tooth decay resistance. In the study, we used three randomly selected fluoride products that are of professional application, and we investigated which of them has the most effective cardioprotective effect, depending on the chemical composition, the concentration of fluorine, the application mode, the frequency of application, and the risk of overdose.
