[ comparison on fluoride uptake rates in the enamel of permanent teeth after application of Cina and ADA standard gel [Sultan]]

ABSTRACT

Background and aim: periodic and regular fluoride therapy significantly reduces caries prevalence in children and adolescents. Nowadays, a lot of different kinds of fluoride gels are used in the dental office and determination of fluoride ion uptake rate by enamel is a good way to evaluate the efficacy of these products. The aim of this experimental study was to compare fluoride ion uptake rate by the enamel of permanent teeth after the application of "Cina" gel and an ADA standard gel [Sltan]
