“…For this reason, the appropriate amount of fluoridated toothpaste depends on age (1): for children under two years, the size of a grain of rice, and for children aged 3-6 years, a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste is appropriate. The high concentration of fluoride (5000 ppm) in toothpastes has been shown to be more effective in remineralization of both the enamel and dentin in comparison with low-concentration ones; it decreases plaque accumulation, develops fluorapatite crystals which help prevent dental caries and decrease Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus counts (39).…”

Background: Fluoride can arrest dental caries and prevent its progression. The most important advantage of fluoride is that there is no need for cavity preparation; in this respect, it eliminates the utilization of air motors. Furthermore, it provides a good choice for younger children without cooperation ability and patients requiring special care. This study aimed to review the literature about fluoride and to advise public health specialists about the types of fluoride and that fluoride is still a right and safe choice in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Through a search in electronic databases containing Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, a total of one hundred forty-two systematic reviews and original articles in the period of 2008-2021 were selected. The following keywords were used: pediatric dentistry, coronavirus, oral health, tooth remineralization, COVID-19, fluoride, dental fluorosis, and preventive dentistry. Results: Data from selected papers was extracted and classified to evaluate the importance of fluoride in the prevention of dental caries. Fluoride has been selected as a good choice for the prevention and control of dental caries during the coronavirus pandemic. Conclusion: The research has focused on increasing the awareness of public health specialists, advising them that any type of fluoride use is expedient and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

So far as we know there were several natural extracts possessed antimicrobial�activity against oral microbiota. These natural extracts can be used as an alternative to replace chlorhexidine mouthwash which retains unfavorable flavor and also has some adverse effects. However, the antimicrobial�activity of the natural extracts in commercial products have never been demonstrated especially in vivo studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial�activity of natural oral spray against oral bacteria compared with chlorhexidine mouthwash, and patient satisfaction. Participants had used two types of commercial natural oral spray products, including essential oil and essential oil with mangosteen extract, and chlorhexidine mouthwash, with 2 weeks of washout period between each product. To determine the antifungal and antibacterial activity, Unstimulated saliva samples were collected before and after using each product for microbial culture. Total colony forming units (CFUs) were enumerated and compared. Then, satisfaction score was recorded by questionnaire. The results demonstrated that natural oral spray products reduced the total colony forming units after continuous use for 2 weeks, similar to the antimicrobial�effect of chlorhexidine, and most patients expressed better user satisfaction than chlorhexidine mouthwash. This study suggests that the oral spray with essential oil and mangosteen extract demonstrates effective�antimicrobial�activity and favored patient compliance.
