Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluoride varnish on the concentrations of fluoride in dental plaque after fluoride varnish and gel treatment from preschool children.
Methods: Children between the ages of 5 and 6 who lived in non-fluoridated areas were enrolled in this study. After dental examination, informed consent was received from the parents. The effect of a fluoride varnish and 1.23% APF gel on the concentrations of fluoride in dental plaque were investigated in 5,6-years old preschool children(N=59) after fluoride varnish and 1.23% APF gel treatment.
Results: The concentration of fluoride in dental plaque after fluoride varnish treatment was kept higher than 1.23% APF gel after 1 week@ ( 0.05).
Conclusions: The fluoride varnish showed higher fluoride ion concentration in dental plaque than 1.23% APF gel and can be used as a broadly available anticaries agent.
