Fluoride is a trace element. It is a component of the herbal and animal and therefore also of the human nutritional cycle. The intake of fluoride has a caries-preventive effect. This is based on three mechanisms:

• Influence of de- and remineralisation process at the tooth's surface.
• Increase in the acid resistance of dental hard substances.
• Antibacterial effect through the prevention of plaque bacterial metabolism.

Fluorides are integrated into the enamel during the tooth's development, before its breakthrough into the oral cavity. Life-long availability of reduced fluoride concentrations at the tooth's surface is significant for caries inhibition. Our food contains small traces of fluoride and, depending on eating habits; we absorb daily fluoride volumes of between 0.2 and 0.5 mg.

Fluorides are applied as caries inhibitors in various ways:

• Systemically: through drinking water, salines, intake of fluoride tablets.
• Locally: through toothpastes, gels, varnishes, rinses, sucking of fluoride tablets.

As the fluorides have a caries-inhibiting effect especially through direct contact with the dental hard substances, local fluoridation should be preferred.
