Abstract

A preparation for the prolonged release of fluoride for topical use was developed. The delayed release of the fluoride was achieved by dispersing NaF or CaF2 in ethyl cellulose with or without a stearic acid matrix. Orthodontic plates were used as delivery systems. The kinetics of fluoride release was controlled by diffusion mechanisms. The major compound resulting from enamel treatment with prolonged acting fluoride is fluoridated apatite.
