title: [What fluoride compound has the greatest effect in the fight against dental caries?].
abstract: There is a wide range of fluoride compounds that can be used in the prevention of caries. Mineral salts, monofluorophosphate or amino fluoride are most currently used and their efficacy is supported by scientific evidence. Next to the prevention of mineral dissolution, some fluoride compounds have more pronounced antimicrobial properties. Clinically, all fluoride compounds are equivalent if they are presented in a compatible formulation.
