Abstract
Objective: To examine process inside plaque after application of three topical fluoride solutions: 1% TiF4, 1% NaF and Aminfluorid solution. Efficiency of three of these was estimated through concentrations of fluoride ions. Methods: Fluoride ions concentrations were measured and demonstrated as potential of fluoride electrode. 60 adult volunteers, divided in three groups (20 volunteers for each group, one agent per one group) have participated in the research. Subjects refrained of oral hygiene for 48 hours before the experiment. Plaque samples were taken before the application of fluoride solutions, and again after 5, 30, 60 and 120 minutes following the treatment. Results: Fluoride concentrations in plaque were not significantly different for three tested solutions. Conclusion: There isn’t clinically significant difference in efficacy of three used topical fluoride agents, despite their pH values differences. Only one statistically significant difference appeared after 60 minutes between sodium fluoride and titanium tetra fluoride, but it disappeared after 120 minutes.
