Question
Answer
show Delivered systemically and/or topically.  
🗑
Fluoride works in three ways to reduce and prevent tooth decay   show
🗑
show Systemic delivery: 1)water (commercially or naturally fluoridated) 2) supplements including prenatal 3) Inadvertent (непреднамеренный, случайный)  
🗑
show When fluoride is ingested during tooth development it has a pre-eruptive, systemic effect delivered to the forming teeth via the blood stream  
🗑
show Topical delivery of fluoride fluoride is applied to exposed surfaces of erupted (post-eruption) teeth provides the greatest effect on reducing/preventing tooth decay  
🗑
show Fluoride delivered systemically can have topical effects if there are erupted teeth chewing fluoride tablets swallowing fluoridated water or liquid supplements  
🗑
show Fluoride delivered topically can have systemic effects if there are unerupted teeth swallowing any form of topically applied fluoride provides a source of systemic fluoride  
🗑
What is fluoride?   show
🗑
show combines with cations (+ charge) to form various inorganic fluoride compounds found in minerals in rocks and soil Calcium fluoride Sodium fluoride Magnesium fluoride Potassium fluoride  
🗑
show Fluoride ion (F-) is a reduced form of fluorine  
🗑
Reduced form of fluorine   show
🗑
show free fluoride ion is found in water  
🗑
show Water passes through the soil and over rock formations, dissolves the fluoride compounds, breakup is referred to as disassociation; *free fluoride ions are released *Fluoride ions are present to some extent in all food and water  
🗑
Fluoride Intake (ways):   show
🗑
Fluoride Absorption, Gastrointestinal Tract, time, absorption is inhibited when fluoride is taken with...   show
🗑
show *Blood plasma carries fluoride for distribution & elimination peak levels within 30 minutes of intake: *normal plasma levels are low rise and fall according to intake  
🗑
Fluoride is distributed by the plasma to ...fluoride has strong affinity for..majority of fluoride in what tissues of the body...   show
🗑
Teeth and fluoride storage   show
🗑
show amount of fluoride ion stored in the crystal lattice (решётка, сетка) of teeth and bone varies with intake, time of exposure, and the age and stage development *teeth store small amounts highest levels at the tooth surface  
🗑
fluoride deposited during tooth development can only be altered by...   show
🗑
Fluoride Excretion   show
🗑
Teeth can acquire fluoride during three periods of tooth development:   show
🗑
Fluoride is deposited during the formation of enamel when it is   show
🗑
Pre-eruptive fluoride effect on occlusal grooves   show
🗑
show Pre-eruptive: mineralization stage  
🗑
show Excessive systemic fluoride (from any source) during this period results in hypomineralization (enamel hypoplasia) dental fluorosis.  
🗑
After mineralization and prior to eruption, additional fluoride is... during this stage much more fluoride is acquired... what children benefit   show
🗑
show After eruption and throughout the life span of the tooth concentration of fluoride in the enamel is dependent on topical sources: 1)concentration 2)frequency of exposure (fluoridated water becomes a topical source)  
🗑
Fluoride on the outermost surfaces of the tooth is available (to do what?)... Uptake is most rapid during the...   show
🗑
What part of the tooth has the highest concentration of fluoride   show
🗑
What enamel will absorb fluoride better?   show
🗑
Dentin and Fluoride Content: concentration higher in... what dentin absorbs fluoride rapidly   show
🗑
show Cementum *level high and increases with age (recession) root surface is exposed to sources containing fluoride  
🗑
Plaque may contain how much fluoride   show
🗑
show Saliva is a reservoir for fluoride concentrations vary dependent on concentration and frequency of fluoride product used  
🗑
show fluoride levels as low as 0.04 ppm enough to produce beneficial anti-caries effect through remineralization. beneficial levels can be sustained for as long as 2 to 6 hours depending on the product used and the individual  
🗑
show *Demin &reminer process*Inhibits theway cariogenc bactria metablze carbohydrts: -inhibts enzymeenolase,bacteria need4metabolsm ofcarbohdrts -inhibts acidprodctn (low concntrtns offl cnstntly present s.mutans producs<acid) *high concentratns canbebactr  
🗑
show 1)Systemically *fluoridated water and beverages *food *supplements *inadvertent means 2) Topically *OTC products *professionally applied products *systemic sources  
🗑
show Pre-eruption effect: *fluorapatite produced is less soluble than hydroxyapatite. *improves the quality of the mineralized tooth structures. *fluorosis can occur during the pre-eruptive, mineralization stage  
🗑
Systemic Fluoride, post-eruption effect   show
🗑
Fluoridation, protection/risk   show
🗑
Whose research resulted in use of term "dental fluorosis"   show
🗑
Dr. H.T. Dean determined determined optimal level of fluoride necessary to prevent/reduce decay without causing fluorosis   show
🗑
show 1945, long term fluoridation study Grand Rapids, MI and Newburg, NY fluoridatd; control cities – not fluoridated. Baseline info gathered &study continued over years; results showed a signif reductn in the fluoridated communities as well as safety  
🗑
show In 2011, the US Department of Health and Social Services updated their recommendations for the optimal concentration of water fluoridation .7 ppm for all communities; the range (colder/warmer climate) was eliminated  
🗑
Fluoride, Dietary Supplements, Assess Needs:   show
🗑
Fluoride, Prenatal Supplements   show
🗑
show Recommended by WHO as one alternative to fluoridated water to target underprivileged populations supplies about 1/2 to 1/3 of amount of fluoride ingested daily from 1 ppm fluoridated water *reduced incidence in caries in users of fluoridated salt;  
🗑
show Bottled Water usually does not contain optimal fluoride unless has a label indicating it is fluoridated fill water bottle from fluoridated water supply  
🗑
show Water filters remove fluoride reverse osmosis and water distillation systems carbon filters with activated alumina do not remove fluoride water softeners maybe carbon filters on the end of a faucet or pitcher vary in the amount of fluoride removed  
🗑
Fluoride in Infant formula, ADA recommends   show
🗑
show *#of lesions reduced (40-65% if exposed to fl H2O from birth on) *Rate of caries slowed *Ant teeth receive more protection than post teeth *50% decrease in root caries in people lifelong residents of fl community; *Less tooth loss due to decay  
🗑
Dental fluorosis, describe   show
🗑
Varying degrees of fluorosis:   show
🗑
show Tan to dark brown staining due to post-eruptive intake of exogenous stain  
🗑
Timing of Dental Fluorosis; permanent dentition susceptible... central incisors susceptible...   show
🗑

🗑
Fluoridation Controversy, From an anti-fluoridationist point of view, fluoride..   show
🗑
show By direct contact on exposed tooth surfaces: *prof applied(foams/gels/varnish/ rinses) *self-applied OTC products (TP, rinses) *self-applied Rx products(pastes, rinses) *indrctly via dent plaque &saliva fl products passing overteeth as they areswal
