Prevention of caries – Fluoride (1)
Fluoride toothpaste• Most cost-effective topical fluoride
agent• Main reason for the decline in caries
in the last 30 yrs – 24% reduction of caries (I)
• Fluoride concentration of toothpaste more important than plaque removal (I)
Prevention of caries – Fluoride (2)

Preventive effect
Prevention of caries – Fluoride (2)
• How often should adults brush?– Al least twice daily (I) – and always at
night (V)
• What conc. of fluoride toothpaste should be recommended?– At least 1350ppm (I) – Higher conc. (>2000ppm) available
for adults (II)
1350-1500ppm F

Prevention of caries – Fluoride (3)
• How should the mouth be rinsed after brushing?– Discourage rinsing, just spit (IV)
• How long should brushing take – what technique is best?– No clear evidence for either – 2 minutes!
Prevention of caries – Fluoride (4)
• What type of toothbrush is best?– Some powered toothbrushes are more
effective than manual brushes (Oral B range) (I)
– “Sonic” toothbrushes no better (I)– Normal brushes – small heads, with soft,
variable length and round ended filaments(V)
Prevention of caries – Fluoride (5)
Fluoride Mouthrinses• 2 types
– Daily (0.05% F)– Weekly (0.2% F)
• Both give 26% reduction in caries (I)• Recommended for high risk patients
– Active decay– Poor quantity or poor quality of saliva
Prevention of caries – Fluoride (6)
Fluoride varnishes• 46% reduction in caries in
permanent teeth (I)• Good for patients high risk of caries• Apply 6 mthly in high risk• Professional application - expensive • 22600 ppm F, some higher

• BUT important role for dental team – caries, erosion and oral cancer
Prevention of caries – dietary counselling (3)
Recommendations (III):• Reduce frequency & amount
consumption of non-milk extrinsic sugars eg sucrose/glucose/glucose syrup – max 4 x per day

Prevention of erosion– dietary counselling (1)
Tooth erosion:
Tooth erosion is a gradual loss of the normally hard surface of the tooth due to chemical, not bacterial, processes.
Prevention of erosion– dietary counselling (1)
Recommendations (V)• Limit frequency of acidic drinks and foods• If do, cheese and milk afterwards• Use a straw• Don’t hold or swish acidic drinks• Don’t brush for 1 hr after exposure or
vomitting • Fluoride usage!

Prevention of periodontal disease (1)Quick revision!
Key aetiological factors– plaque– smoking
Prevention of periodontal disease (2)
• All toothbrushing advice applies – removal of plaque ++ important
• Stopping patients smoking – next week!• Interdental cleaning aids (floss/sticks)
can be effective – but few people master
• Minibrushes probably best (V)• Triclosan with copolymer or zinc citrate
in toothpaste effective in reducing plaque and improving gingival health (I)
Prevention of periodontal disease (2)
Zinc Citrate
Triclosan with copolymer
Prevention of periodontal disease (2)
Mouthrinses• Chlorhexidine
reduces plaque and improves gingival health – 0.12% and 0.2% (II)
• Others probably effective at reducing plaque (II)“Plax” - 0.03% Triclosan with sodium fluoride (225 ppm fluoride)
Prevention of oral cancer

UK epidemiology of oral cancer• Incidence – approx 5000 new cases per
year (2005)• 15th most common cancer – 1.7% of all
cancers• In UK, similar incidence to brain, liver
and cervical cancers and melanoma

Relative Risk
Oral Cancer – risk factors
• Smoking/tobacco use• Alcohol• Betel quid / paan
Oral Cancer – other risk factors• Sunlight• Diet• Human papilloma virus• Previous cancer
Prevention of oral cancer
• Record smoking/tobacco use status• Help patients to stop smoking/using
tobacco (III) – again, more next week• Advise moderation of alcohol (IV)
Record alcohol consumption• 21 units for men (no more than 4 units/day)• 14 units for women (no more than 3 units/day)
• Advise diet high in fruit and vegetables, low in fat (III)
• Early referral of suspicious lesions
Oral diseases to prevent
• Caries• Erosion• Periodontal diseases• Oral cancer• Trauma
Prevention of trauma
• Sport related – recommend mouthguards (IV)
• Maxillofacial injuries – alcohol related – advise to moderate consumption – research underway
Take home messages• Fluoride, in all forms, works• Changing (dietary) behaviour is difficult• Helping patients to stop smoking is very
important• Some electric toothbrushes are better
than manual• Some toothpastes and mouthwashes will
reduce plaque and improve gingival health
