[Comparative study of the increase in acid solubility resistance of enamel using different fluoride treatments].
This investigation was performed to evaluate, comparatively, the effect of topical application of Duraphat, Flulak, Fluor-Protector, Bifluorid 12, Profilac, Fluoro-gel-P and Fluocal-gel. Colorimetric technique was used for such purposes. It was found that 67.5% of 283 children treated with those different treatments increased their enamel resistance to acid dissolution, although notable differences were found in the use of these products. Average of increase ranged between 10.7 and 23.5%. Lacs and varnishes provide best results than gels with regard to acid dissolution rate of enamel. Behave of the two national products evaluated (Flulak and Profilac) was similar to the rest of lacs and varnishes, justifying their use at national level for the prevention of caries, avoiding in that way unnecessary importations.
