where does the fluoride go? - ANSWER the fluoride is absorbed by the tooth's enamel
with calcium and phosphate
how does fluoride doses work? - ANSWER the fluoride is effective at re-mineralization
because it prefers to go to the de-mineralized enamel over the sound enamel
it helps by modifying crystal size within an enamel lesion to re-mineralize it
Fluoride in low concentration and high frequency increases the rate of - ANSWER the
growth and size of crystals that are formed
what types of crystals are less likely to be damaged by acid attacks? - ANSWER larger
crystals are more resistant to acid attacks
True or false does fluoride have an anti-bacterial effect? - ANSWER yes.
this is true fluoride has an anti-bacterial effect
True or false does fluoride have a de-sensitizing effect? - ANSWER true fluoride has a de-
sensitizing effect
,how does fluoride have an anti-bacterial affect? - ANSWER the fluoride interferes with
the metabolism of bacteria
for example, the conversion of glucose to lactic acid
it reduces energy making bacterial attachment to the tooth's enamel more difficult
stannous fluoride aka SnF - ANSWER Stannous Fluoride has more antibacterial effects
than NaF because of the associated accumulation of tin inside bacteria espesially S.
Mutans
how does fluoride work as a de-sensitizing agent? - ANSWER because fluoride reduces
sensitivity by mechanically blocking dentinal tubules with fluorapatite
what patients are great for the de-sensitizing uses of fluoride treatment - ANSWER
fluoride is effective for Clients with Special Needs, xerostomia, radiation, etc.
how much fluoride does plaque contain? - ANSWER Plaque contains 5-50 PPM fluoride.
what supplies the fluoride to the plaque? - ANSWER Saliva & crevicular fluid supply
fluoride to plaque
why is it beneficial to have fluoride in plaque? - ANSWER Fluoride is beneficial to have
within plaque because it inhibits acid production in plaque.
True or false fluoride lowers the metabolism of plaque - ANSWER True. Fluoride lowers
the metabolism of plaque.
does fluoride reduce or increase the ability of plaque to adhere to the tooth - ANSWER
Fluoride reduces ability of plaque to adhere to tooth.
does fluoride affect the cariogenic potential of plaque? - ANSWER yes. Fluoride reduces
the cariogenic potential of plaque.
Pre-eruptive Mineralization Stage of fluorosis - ANSWER this occurs after the enamel
matrix is laid down by the ameloblasts
fluoride is incorporated as fluorapatite during the formation of the enamel crystals,
starting at the DEJ.
what is the chain of events that lead to fluorosis - ANSWER Too much fluoride leads to
an abnormal activity of the ameloblast this produces fluorosis
what are some forms of systemic fluoride? - ANSWER solutions
tablets
chewables
flouride solutions - ANSWER fluoride solutions dispense 0.125 mg Fluoride per drop
for example, Luride Drops
