topical
FL varnish is FDA approved for
desensitization used off label for caries prevention
Neutral Sodium Flouride
NaF 5.0%, ph of 7.0, 22,600 ppm
How many months does fluoride varnish uptake for
5-6 months
Fl V is used for caries prevention on
children, patients with reduced saliva, demineralized areas, root exposure, and incipient caries
Anesthetizes the terminal nerve endings used for
-patient assessments as well as debridement
-disease or injury-related sensitivity
Aphthous ulcer
Cheek bite
Gingivitis
-preparation for local anesthetic injection
-suture removal
-Prevent pain or gagging during radiographs and impressions

chloraseptic contraindications
dye allergy
Dentinal hypersensitivity
Short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli
80% of population affected sometime during their lifetime
Tooth retention/ increased lifespan contributing to higher incidence
Expected to continue to increase
Mechanisms of dentin exposure
Gingival recession
Loss of enamel/cementum
Attrition
Abrasion
Erosion
Abfraction
Sudden vs gradual exposure
Sclerosis of dentin
Mineral deposits within tubules due to traumatic stimuli
Results in smaller diameter tubule to transmit stimuli
Secondary dentin
Gradual deposit between pulp chamber and dentin
Insulates pulp from dentinal fluid disturbances/stimuli
Deposits increase with age creating smaller pulp chamber
