“…Thirteen trials evaluated the efficacy of varying fluoride (F) vehicles: (i) toothpaste as 1500 ppm NaF, 1250 ppm Amine F, 0.243% NaF/Silica, 1450 ppm sodium‐monoflurophosphate (MFP) 1450 ppm, 5000 ppmF, 0.4% stannous F/calcium pyrophosphate ; (ii) varnish as 5% NaF, 6% NaF + 6% CaF, and 0.1% F ; (iii) gel as 1.23% acidulated‐phosphate‐fluoride (APF), 1% NaF neutral (4500 ppm), and 4000 ppm Amine F ; and (iv) mouthrinse as 50 ppm NaF (Willmot). Sample sizes for the trials ranged from 15 to 3093 subjects and were conducted between 2 weeks and 4.02 years (loss to follow‐up ranged from 0% to 54.3%).…”

Fluoride interventions (varnishes, gels, and toothpaste) seem to have the most consistent benefit in decreasing the progression and incidence of NCCls. Studies using xylitol, CHX, and CPP-ACP vehicles alone or in combination with fluoride therapy are very limited in number and in the majority of the cases did not show a statistically significant reduction. Sealants and resin infiltration studies point to a potential consistent benefit in slowing the progression or reversing NCCls.

Efficacy of 1.23% APF gel applications on incipient carious lesions: a double-blind randomized clinical trial

The aim of this double-blind randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of 1.23% APF gel application on the arrest of active incipient carious lesions in children. Sixty 7-to 12-year-old children, with active incipient lesions were included in the study. Children were divided randomly into 2 groups: 1.23% APF gel and placebo gel applications. Each group received 8 weekly applications of treatment. The lesions were re-evaluated at the 4 th and 8 th appointments. Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate relative risks of the presence of active white spot lesions. Groups showed similar results (PR = 1.67; CI 95% 0.69-3.98). The persistence of at least 1 active lesion was associated with a higher number of lesions in the baseline (PR = 2.67; CI 95% 1.19-6.03), but not with sugar intake (PR = 1.06; CI 95% 0.56-2.86) and previous exposure to fluoride dentifrice (PR = 1.26; CI 95% 0.49-2.29). The trial demonstrates the equivalence of the treatments. The use of the APF gel showed no additional benefits in this sample of children exposed to fluoridated water and dentifrice. The professional dental plaque removal in both groups may also account for the resulting equivalence of the treatments.

“…V poslední době byla publikována řada dalších dílčích studií, ve kterých se pohybovala po dvou až čtyřech letech aplikace redukce přírůstku kazu proti kontrole mezi osmnácti až třiceti sedmi procenty. U dětí s nízkou kazivostí byl efekt fluoridového gelu nižší [53]. Rozdíl v účinku jednotlivých typů gelů (NaF, APF) je neprůkazný [30].…”

The effect of fluoride gel on incipient carious lesions in a low‐caries child population

Abstract: Professionally applied fluoride gel showed no statistically significant caries-inhibiting effect on both enamel and dentine lesions in the permanent dentition of low-caries children.
