Book Description
Laboratory studies were carried out (a) to measure the protection afforded dental enamel by the 4-minute topical application of stannous fluoride solutions of low concentration, (b) to study the effect of duration of topical application, and (c) to determine the effect of sodium chloride on the protective performance of a 0.1% stannous fluoride solution. A total of 880 phosphorus determinations was carried out in testing 440 extracted human molar teeth. Protection afforded by the low concentration topical application varied from 69.1% for the 1% solution to 41.3% for the 0.05% preparation. The optimal duration of topical application was sought, and protective effectiveness was found to increase significantly during the second minute of exposure to stannous fluoride solution. The addition of 3.0%, 5.0%, and 10.0% sodium chloride to a 0.1% stannous fluoride solution did not significantly alter protective capacity. However, protection was significantly decreased by the addition of 20% sodium chloride. (Author).

Book Description
The topical application of stannous fluoride to the teeth of military personnel has been shown to significantly reduce the dental decay rates of the men so treated. The time spent by the dentist in polishing the teeth for this treatment is so great, however, that these applications could not be given to all Naval personnel. A method whereby the individual polishes his own teeth under supervision has been evaluated and the results after two years indicate significant decay reductions comparable to that seen in men who received the entire treatment from the dentist. The new self-preparation method should enable every man in the Naval service to receive the benefits of topical stannous fluoride treatment. (Author).

Book Description
Dental caries is a multi factorial, bacterial, chronic infection that affects millions of people in the world and has become a public health problem. Also referred to as tooth decay, this disease is one of the most common disorders throughout the world, second only to the common cold. Dental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease in the United States and is 5 to 7 times more common than asthma. According to the World Oral Health Report in 2003, dental caries affect 60-80% of school children and a vast majority of adults. If left untreated, dental caries can result in cavities forming and, eventually, tooth loss. Although the prevalence and severity of dental caries has decreased over the years, this disease can be controlled better with proper fluoride exposure. Fluoride dentifrices have been shown in numerous clinical trials to be effective anticaries agents and have been recognized as a major cause of the remarkable decline in caries prevalence in many developed countries. Dentifrices have been widely adopted around the world as the principle means of delivering topical fluoride and obtaining caries preventive benefits. Although there is documented literature on the use of topical fluorides, the issue needs to be further researched based on the recent documeanted literature and guidelines regarding use of topical fluorides. Hence, the present review was conducted with the aim to review the available literature on the use and effectiveness of different topical fluorides used in dentistry.
