Abstract
Dental caries is still one of the major public health problems. The most effective way of caries prevention is the use of fluoride. Fluoride has become an important tool in preventive dentistry. Current research is focused on the development of strategies to improve fluoride efficacy. Fluoride therapy in the form of fluoride devices, prophylaxis paste or re-mineralizing agents has been used extensively as a caries-preventive intervention. The purpose of this review is to inform the reader about new research related to the use of fluoride for the prevention of dental caries.
