...Eva-Karin Bergström; Thomas Davidson; Ulla Moberg Sköld Since 2008, FRAMM has been a guideline for caries prevention for all 3- to 15-year-olds in the Västra Götaland Region in Sweden and a predominant part is school-based fluoride varnish applications for all 12- to 15-year-olds. The aims were...

... and in English were identified and compared. The majority of these guidelines included recommendations for fluoride varnish use as well as for fluoride gels, while a smaller number offered guidance on high fluoride strength toothpaste and other vehicles. Whilst there was good consistency in recommendations...

...Debbie Bonetti; Jan E. Clarkson Many reviews support fluoride varnish (FV) as a caries-inhibitory agent. Evidence from 6 Cochrane systematic reviews involving 200 trials and more than 80,000 participants further confirms the effectiveness of FV, applied professionally 2-4 times a year...

...Matthew Neidell; Barbara Shearer; Ira B. Lamster While sealants are more effective than fluoride varnish in reducing the development of new carious lesions on occlusal surfaces, and a course of treatment requires fewer clinical visits, they are more expensive per application. This analysis assessed...

Al-Mutawa; Hanan Boodai; Eino Honkala Objectives: The objectives of this study were to measure the caries preventive effect of sealants applied to occlusal surfaces of primary molars compared to fluoride varnish applications, and to assess...

...M.M. Manarelli; A.C.B. Delbem; T.M.T. Lima; F.C.N. Castilho; J.P. Pessan This study analyzed the effects of fluoride varnishes supplemented with sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP) on the remineralization of caries-like lesions in vitro. Bovine enamel discs were selected through surface hardness (SH...

...K. Divaris; J.S. Preisser; G.D. Slade Objectives: Fluoride varnish (FV) is efficacious in caries prevention although its effects among different tooth surfaces are poorly understood. This study sought to determine the extent to which caries-preventive effects of a community intervention...

...K.R. Ekstrand; A. Bakhshandeh; S. Martignon This split-mouth study aimed to assess the efficacy of resin-infiltrated lesions covered by fluoride varnish (FV) versus FV treatment only of proximal lesions on deciduous molar teeth.
