Morphological chages in enamel, as a consequence of topical fluoridation

Aurelia Spinei and Iu. Spinei

In this paper are presented results of dental examination of 330 children of 7 years old. The period of study was 6 years, in conditions according to the WHO. The prevention of caries in 81 schoolboys was conducted in a series of topical applications using a fluoride acidulated gel and aminofluoride gel. In a comparative study regarding the efficiency of the topic agent used with a slow release of fluoride ions in 80 children, there were applied adhesives pellicles. The local application of fluoride products was conducted by individual indications.
The application series of mineral and organic connections of a fluoride increases enamel resistance to acid attack and saturates the enamel with fluorides. Morphological changes of enamel by applying topical fluoridations is characterized by an actuation of calcium fluoride and an increase in the density of the protective granulated layer of the enamel surface. The comparative study analyses the effect of topical fluoride application by adhesive pellicles and demonstrates that this method is more efficient than conventional topical fluoridation.
