Previous studies have indicated that there may be a relationship between salivary fluoride concentrations and dental caries. In these previous studies the emphasis was on dental caries in permanent teeth. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible relationship between the prevalence of dental caries in the primary dentition and the fluoride concentration in saliva in 8-year-old children. Design The study population consisted of 172 children aged 8 years living in the inner city area…

Relationship of Dental Caries with Fluoride Concentration in Unstimulated whole Saliva of 7 to 15-year-old Nonfluoride Users
TLDR
Investigation of the relationship between dental caries and fluoride concentration in unstimulated whole saliva of non-fluoride users found inverse and significant with DMFT and DMFS and correlations with Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were significant.
Intraoral Fluoride-Releasing Devices: A Literature Review
TLDR
A significant number of studies have confirmed that intraoral fluoride-releasing devices have great potential for use in preventing dental caries in children, high-caries-risk groups, and irregular dental attenders in addition to a number of other applications.
Impact of an Anticaries Mouthrinse on In Vitro Remineralization and Microbial Control
TLDR
These in vitro studies demonstrated that a fluoride mouthrinse with antimicrobial agent andBiofilm matrix disrupting agent provided multifaceted and enhanced anti-caries efficacy by promoting remineralization, reducing acidogenic bacteria and disrupting biofilm matrix.
Effect of Rinsing with Mouthwashes after Brushing with a Fluoridated Toothpaste on Salivary Fluoride Concentration
TLDR
It is suggested that use of a non-F mouthwash after toothbrushing with a F toothpaste may reduce the anticaries protection provided by toothbrushes with aF toothpaste alone, and the use ofA mouthwash with at least 100 mg F/l should minimise this risk.

School-based health education programmes, health-learning capacity and child oral health–related quality of life
TLDR
The model of health-learning capacity assisted in explaining the effect of a school-based intervention upon knowledge, toothbrushing behaviour and tentatively on COHRQoL.
Antibacterial tooth surface created by laser-assisted pseudo-biomineralization in a supersaturated solution.
Association of Saliva Fluoride Level and Socioeconomic Factors with Dental Caries in 3-6 Years Old Children in Tehran-Iran
TLDR
The obtained results indicated that the caries prevalence among 3-6 year-old children in Tehran – the capital of the Islamic republic of Iran – is as low compared with those, living in developed countries.

Factors related to fluoride retention after toothbrushing and possible connection to caries activity.
TLDR
The aim of the present investigation was to study the brushing and toothpaste technique employed by carie-active and caries-inactive patients in a toothbrushing population in a public dental clinic in Sweden.
Oral fluoride measurements for estimation of the anti-caries efficacy of fluoride treatments.
TLDR
Mean saliva and plaque fluoride concentrations were inversely associated with mean three-year caries increments for the three fluoride-containing dentifrices obtained in a recent clinical trial, suggesting that oral fluoride measurements are a valuable in vivo method for the evaluation of the potential anti-caries efficacy of fluoride- containing dental products.
Oral fluoride retention after use of fluoride dentifrices.
TLDR
The present work supports the concept that labile fluoride, stored in an oral fluoride reservoir at the time of treatment application, may maintain a prolonged protective effect against dental caries.
Caries Risk Assessment in a Longitudinal Discrimination Study
TLDR
This study sought to ascertain whether a set of variables selected in a previous cross-sectional study could be used to differentiate between caries-free six-year-olds who would or would not subsequently present with clinically-detectable caries, and found it was possible to predict correctly which children would develop caries within six to 12 months.
Fluoride in whole saliva and dental caries experience in areas with high or low concentrations of fluoride in the drinking water.
TLDR
It was concluded that direct contact of the oral cavity with F in the drinking water is the most likely source of the elevated whole saliva fluoride and that the increased availability of fluoride in the oral fluids has an important relationship to the reduced caries progression observed in fluoridated areas.
Fluoride Availability in Human Saliva after Dentifrice Use: Correlation with Anticaries Effects in Rats
TLDR
Analysis of data provides further evidence in support of the concept that fluoride availability in saliva following dentifrice use is an important parameter related to anticaries efficacy.
Fluoride in mixed human saliva after different topical fluoride treatments and possible relation to caries inhibition.
TLDR
Salivary fluoride levels varied widely reflecting the different dosages applied, whereas the caries reduction data irrespective of type of treatment appear very similar, with a magnitude of about 30%, so it was possible to explain the clinical caries reductions.
A study of the relationship between trace elements in saliva and dental caries in children.
Effect of mouthwashes of variable NaF concentration but constant NaF content on oral fluoride retention.
TLDR
Findings suggest that applied F concentration is a more important factor than applied F amount per se in determining the elevation of oral fluoride levels following topical fluoride use, and implies that application of a given F dose, in a smaller volume at higher concentration than the current norm, may increase efficacy without increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Review on fluoride, with special emphasis on calcium fluoride mechanisms in caries prevention.
TLDR
Calcium fluoride deposits act in such a way, owing to a surface covering of phosphate and/or proteins, which makes the CaF2 less soluble under in vivo conditions than in a pure form in inorganic solutions.
