Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the fluoride distribution in deciduous teeth enamel after using Duraphat varnish,and to supply the evidence for preventing deciduous caries by using Duraphat varnish.
Methods: After coating Duraphat varnish, the alteration of fluoride distribution in the enamel was observed with electron probe micro-analysis. The result was compared with the control group and NaF solution group. The effect of dose and period of coating Duraphat varnish on fluoride distribution in enamel was evaluated by X-ray photo-electron spectrometer(XPS). The data was analyzed with SPSS17.0 software package.
Results: The mean values of fluoride concentration in the control group, NaF group and Duraphat varnish group were(0.0406±0.0234)wt%,(0.1006±0.1040)wt% and (0.1844±0.1293)wt%,respectively.The concentration of fluoride in the Duraphat varnish group was significantly higher than that in the NaF group (P<0.01). In period-dependent test,the mean values of fluoride concentration at 10μm under the enamel surface of short period group and long period group were(0.2407±0.0034)wt%, (0.1434±0.0133)wt%; The concentration of fluoride in the short period group was significantly higher than that in the long period group(P<0.01). In dose-dependent test, the mean values of fluoride concentration at 10μm under the enamel surface in the low-dose group and high-dose group were(0.4417±0.0034)wt%,(0.4413±0.0044)wt%, the concentration of fluoride in the low-dose group and high-dose group had no significant difference(P>0.05).
Conclusions: It is an effective way to increase the concentration of fluoride in enamel by coating Duraphat varnish on the surface of deciduous teeth. Shorten the coating period could increase the concentration of fluoride in enamel effectively but the concentration of fluoride in enamel does not go up along with the coating dose increase.

To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of young children in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and five percent sodium fluoride varnish (NaFV) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). Children younger than 72 months of age with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth received two applications of 38 percent SDF and five percent NaFV as part of an RCT testing three different frequency regimes (one, four, and six months apart). The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at three study visits.

Despite fluoride's widespread use in preventing dental caries, it remains a significant oral disease with some drawbacks. Consequently, new preventative agents have emerged that can function independently of fluoride. Our aim is to demonstrate the efficacy of newly developed varnishes, 3% Rennou (theobromine calcium and phosphate) and 1% Rennou, in remineralizing initial caries.

Aims: To analyze the protective properties of fluor dental varnishes in teeth subjected to radiotherapy.
Methods And Results: Eighty teeth were irradiated with a single dose of 60 Gy. Samples were randomized, and the following groups were made: negative control (n = 16); irradiation control (n = 16); irradiation + Duraphat (n = 16); irradiation + Mi Varnish (n = 16); and irradiation + Rivastar (n = 16).

Objectives: The present trial's aim was to compare the remineralization potential of self-assembling peptide P11-4 combined with fluoride to that of fluoride varnish.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight participants with 58 incipient carious lesions were enrolled in the present trial. Participants were randomly divided into two groups with 14 participants and 29 incipient lesions in each group.

The aim of this clinical, prospective, randomized, and parallel study was to evaluate different in-office treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). One hundred ninety-two teeth with non-cavitated root exposures were treated using different desensitizers: fluoride varnish (Duraphat - FLU); bioactive ceramic solution (Biosilicate - BIOS); universal self-etching adhesive (Single Bond Universal - SBU); bioactive photoactivated varnish (PRG filler - SPRG). The degree of DH was analyzed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and computerized visual scale (CoVAS), before treatments and after 7, 15, and 30 days from the first session.
