[Possibilities and limits of application of fluoride-containing varnish in caries prevention, for example, "Fluor-Protector" (2)].

Abstract

Using selected literature, the author provides an overview of the possibilities and limits of fluoride varnish application in caries prophylaxis based on the example of Fluor-Protector. He concludes, as did de Bruyn and Arends (1987), that Fluor-Protector is a safe and effective agent that can prevent caries very effectively and is also promising for use as a desensitising substance.
