UPDATE ON SYSTEMIC FLUOROPROPHYLAXIS
L. Strohmenger
Marzo 2000 - pagg. 160 -162
Abstract
Systemic fluoroprophylaxis is one of the most useful methods for caries prevention. The efficiency
and effectiveness of this technique is well documented: several clinical trials results
are available since the 40’s (the pioneering era of the Dean studies) confirming the validity
of this preventive approach. Recently its use have been questioned, and concerns were raised
about the total amount of fluoride administered: as a consequence, the recommended
doses for caries prevention have been modified. The most recent views about systemic fluoroprophylaxis
are discussed as well as the advantages and risks of this intervention.
