So this in fact makes enamel more acid resistance. Not hard per say. Primary mechanism:- Fluoride ion is easily exchanged for hydroxyl ion (OH ion) coz its smaller than hydroxyl. Plus it has affinity for hydroxyappetite this the fluoroappetite transformation. Voila ! It reduces the rate of enamel solubility Remineralization, of incipient, non-cavitated carious lesion. That’s why if caries hasn’t crossed the CEJ, you can go for F application, coz it can induce remineralization. Antimicrobial activity. The function of F releasing GIC. Basically in low conc, it has the ability to reduce microbial adhesion, slow down the ecological succession, by preventing storage of carbs. Fluoride inhibits bacterial intercellular polysaccharide formation -
3. Types Water fluoridation
27 NOV 2020 · This is the easiest and most common method used to reduce caries in a community level or as among general population. Fluoride in water in ppm — 1 ppm Optimum water fluoridation in mg — 0.5 – 0.8 mg/litre Below optimum- 0.7mm Below optimum = 0.7 ppm in warmer climates Above optimum = 1.2 ppm in colder climates If there’s no community water fluoridation, then next cost effective method for 6-12yr old, is to go for school water fluoridation instead of F tablets, pastes, gel, mouthwash etc. -
