This book describes about the fluoride release and recharge abilities of fluoride-releasing dental restoratives, and discuss the current status concerning the prevention or inhibition of secondary caries. Fluoride-containing dental materials show clear differences in the fluoride release and uptake characteristics. Due to the fact that fluoride levels leached from fluoride containing filling materials decreased over time the "recharging" of restoratives with fluoride has been suggested to maintain a continuously increased level of fluoride release. The ability of a restorative material to act...
