Fluoride II Flashcards
2 most common causes of death in acute fl poisoning
cardiac failure
respiratory paralysis
daily use of fl gel in custom trays indicated for
pts w/:
full mouth rehabilitation
undergoing head and neck radiation therapy
acidulated phosphate fl is contraindicated for
porcelain crowns
composite veneers
approved fl compounds found in otc dentifrices include
sodium fluoride
stannous fluoride
sodium monofluorophosphate
arguments against fluoridating public water supplies used by antifluoridationists
fl increases risk of birth defects
fl increases risk of cancer
addition of fl to public drinking water is unconstitutional
side effect of topical application of stannous fl solution
brown staining
gingival reaction
3yo lives in nonfluoridated area has rampant decay. what home-care regimen
fl tablets
fl dentifrice
brush on fl gel
fluorides thought to protect teeth from caries by which mechanism
antibacterial action inhibition of glycolysis reduction of plaque adhesion reduction in enamel solubility enhancement of remineralization
fluoride toxicity manifests in bones as
osteosclerosis
injestion of fluoridated water form birth shown to reduce tooth decay in children by what percentage
60%
fluorosis may result if excessive fl is consumed during which stage of tooth development
calcification
characteristic of fl regime that enhances remineralization
low concentration used daily
at age 11, individual who has lived in nonfluoridated community since birth moves to area w/ water at 10ppm. at 35 he is likely to exhibit
increased fl stored in bones
in communities w/o fluoridated water supply, most cost effective method for delivering systemic fl to 6-12 yo
school water fluoridation
after ingestion of fluorapatite in enamel, this increases resistance of enamel b/c fluorapatite is
a dense molecule resists penetration by acids
amount of untreated dental caries in population at a given time
prevalence
fl toxicity in bones
osteosclerosis
14 yo: what supplement w/ no water fluoridation
1.00 mg
topical fl uptake
fl diffuses into enamel of erupted tooth
