Fluorine

Areas of use and fields of application

Products from the category Fluorine are used for local fluoride application to remineralize tooth enamel, to prevent carious lesions and to support oral hygiene after dental treatments. Typical application situations include professional fluoride applications during routine examinations, preventive measures after prophylactic cleanings and targeted use in cases of increased susceptibility to caries. In addition, fluoride products are used for aftercare after restorative procedures and to reduce hypersensitivity.

Product types in the Fluorine category

The selection includes various dosage forms for different application needs: highly concentrated fluoride gels and foams for short-term application, fluoride varnishes/varnishes for long-lasting active ingredient contact, fluoride-containing pastes for professional tooth cleaning as well as special applicator brushes and disposable syringes for stable and dosed use. In addition, there are fluoride-containing mouthwashes and concentrates for individual care.

• Fluoride varnish / fluoride varnish
• Fluoride pastes for prophylaxis
• Applicators, brushes & disposable syringes

Advantages and quality aspects

Fluoride products improve the surface hardness of the enamel and support mineral absorption. Concentration, form of application and duration of adhesion play a role in the selection: varnishes offer long contact, gels and foams enable quick, large-area applications. Reliable product labeling, sterile disposable material for applicators and tested packaging ensure safe handling and hygienic processes in everyday practice.

Typical properties and notes

Important properties include fluoride concentration, viscosity, adhesion and compatibility with restorative materials. Products with a longer adhesive life are suitable for long-term effects, while low-viscosity gels are suitable for treatment under rubber dams. Packaging in single doses or syringes supports precise dosing and minimizes cross-contamination.

Manufacturers and solutions

Complementary solutions are available from manufacturers such as Elmex, Fluor Protector and Colgate, which offer different dosage forms and concentrations. The combination of a suitable form of application, tested product quality and suitable consumables enables efficient, reproducible processes.
