T/F Maximum caries inhibiting effect occurs when there is systemic exposure before tooth eruption and frequent topical fluoride exposure throughout life | True |
Most fluoride is absorbed within how many minutes of ingestion? | 60 |
Most fluoride is excreted through the? | Kidneys |
T/F Fluoridation has been established as the most efficient, effective, reliable and inexpensive means for improving and maintaining oral health | True |
T/F In 2015, The US Department of Health & Human Serivces updated the recommendation for the optimal concentration of water fluoridation to 0.7 ppm for all communities | True |
Halo/Diffusion Effect | Foods and beverages that are commercially processed in optimally fluoridated cities can be distributed and consumed in nonfluoridated communities. This halo or diffusion effect can result in increased fluoride intake by individuals living in nonfluoridated communities providing them some protection against dental caries |
T/F Bottled water usually does not contain optimal fluoride unless it has a label indicating that is fluoridated | True |
ppm in colder areas? | 1.2 ppm |
ppm in warmer areas? | 0.7 ppm |
ppm means? | parts per million |
ppm for temperate climates? | 1 ppm |
optimal fluoride concentration is ____ppm used for municipal water supplies to prevent dental caries? | 0.7-12 |
Most common fluoride used for pts w/ regular recall intervals? | 2.0% NaF |
2.0% NaF is what? | Neutral Sodium Fluoride, neural pH of 7.0 |
Fluoride of choice for dentin hypersensitivity? | 5% Neutral Sodium NaF Varnish |
Which fluoride can be used a cavity liner? | 5% Neutral Sodium NaF Varnish |
Choice of FL2 for children? | 5% Neutral Sodium NaF Varnish |
T/F Fl2 varnishes are safe, effective, fast and easy to apply, and pt acceptance is good | True |
T/F Varnish has a higher concentration of FL 2 than gel/form but over all less amount due to thin layer painted on | True |
Low pH of 3.5 enhances FL2 uptake? | 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride APF |
FL2 recommended for pt's at a high risk for caries? | 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride APF |
Which FL2 etches porcelain, composite restorative material, and sealants? | 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride APF |
5% NaF has what added with it? | tricalcium phosphate |
Lethal does of FL2 taken at one time for adult and children? | 5-10 g of NaF (adult) | 0.5-1.0 g (children) |
What can be administer for emergency treatment of FL@ intake if pt is not vomiting? | Milk Lime Water Milk of magnesium |
APF stands for? | Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride |
