title: [Influence of fluoride varnish of different concentration on microhardness of enamel surface]
abstract: Varnish is a new type oral material which develops rapidly in recently years,It have had extensive study abroad.It is one of the topical application of fluoride,among them,fluoride-sodium varnish have more significant effect on prevention of dental caries.This study observed the changes of microhardness of cramels after applying fluorid-sodium varnish of different concentration to enamel surfaces.Enamels were randomly parted into three groups,A.B and C.Before fluoride application,the microhardness of enamels were detected,and no significant difference were found among three groups,After that,0.5%,1.5%,2.7% fluoride-sodium varnish were daubed respectively on the three groups enamel surfaces for 24h.The microhardness of enamels were detected again.The results showed all the microhardness of enamels have significant increase statistically after applying fluoride-sodium varnish of different concentration.But,for 0.5% fluorid-Sodium varnish,the increase of microhardness of enamels was only one half of the other two group,which suggested in some concentration range,the fluoride concentration increased one time,the microhardness of enamels increased about one time, but the increase of microhardness of enamels was not synchronized with the increase of fluoride concentration.The increase of microhardness of enamels is almost the same between the two high concentration fluoride-sodium varnish groups,and there in no significant difference statistically.That is when some fluoride concentration were reached,the microhardness of enamels won't increase any more.By the experiment,the writer suggests 1.5% fluorid-sodium varnish is the best on prevention of dental caries.
