• Effects of topically applied stannous fluoride and acidulated phosphate fluoride alone and in combination on dental plaque [3].
• Effect of topical acidulated phosphate fluoride on percentage of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguis in plaque. II. Pooled occulusal and pooled approximal samples [4].
• Effects of argon laser irradiation and acidulated phosphate fluoride on root caries [5].

High impact information on ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE

• Solutions, gels, toothpastes and rinses of sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, amine fluorides, acidulated phosphate fluoride and monofluorophosphate were used for topical fluoridation [6].
• In this study the effect to acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) and neutral fluoride gels on the recently introduced resin-modified glass ionomers and a polyacid-modified composite resin (Variglass) was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [7].
• Specimens of human dental enamel were topically applied with solutions of sodium fluoride (NaF) or acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) before and after laser irradiation [8].
• Fluoride solutions, SiF, AgF, acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF), and sodium fluoride (NaF), were applied to bovine enamel and dentine blocks, and the depth of demineralization was measured after exposure to a demineralizing solution for 24 h [9].
• The aim of this study was to determine whether 1.23 per cent acidulated phosphate fluoride gel, if applied to the surface cementum at certain intervals during an erosive acid challenge, could provide any protection against demineralization [10].

Biological context of ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE

• Procedures include ingestion of fluoridated water (1.0 ppm), topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride, application of a pit and fissure sealant, early detection of caries and restoration of affected teeth, and dental health education (oral hygiene and dietary counseling program) [11].

Anatomical context of ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE

• Histological effects of acidulated phosphate fluoride on dentin and the pulp [12].
• The ability of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel to inhibit simulated endogenous erosion in tooth roots [10].
• METHODS AND MATERIALS: Third molar teeth were sectioned to obtain 72 specimens, divided into one control and five experimental groups: amalgam only; varnish plus amalgam; acidulated phosphate fluoride plus amalgam; adhesive amalgam; glass-ionomer cement plus amalgam; control (amalgam only, not subjected to a demineralization challenge) [13].
• Fluoride profiles in different sites of approximal surfaces of second primary molars after topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride gel in vivo [14].
• PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) and the subsequent polishing on the in vitro adherence of mutans streptococci to resin composites in a model that simulated the oral cavity conditions [15].

Associations of ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE with other chemical compounds

• Fluoride varnish versus acidulated phosphate fluoride gel: a 3-year clinical trial [16].
• To determine the effect of one and four-minute acidulated phosphate fluoride, or APF (Oral-B Minute Gel, Oral-B Laboratories) treatments on artificial caries development in root surfaces, an in vitro study was conducted [17].
• Hydrofluoric acid etches porcelain to produce a porous surface visible under scanning electron microscopy when compared to an acidulated phosphate fluoride gel [18].

Gene context of ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE

• SEM images of chemically etched specimens revealed that HF produced greater surface degradation and greater bond strength than APF for both E1 and E2 ceramics [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE

• The experimental group (8 classes) received a bi-annual APF foam application, and the control group (7 classes) received the placebo [1].
• Acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF), Duraphat or Fluor Protector, was applied to the molar teeth of rats fed a cariogenic diet [20].
• This study examined the surface morphological changes of prosthodontic composite materials when exposed to an acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) agent and the effectiveness of subsequent polishing on APF-treated material surfaces [21].
• This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dental prophylaxis prior to the topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride solution applied twice a year in schoolchildren [22].
• Group III--twice yearly topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride solution with prior toothbrushing with a non-fluoridated prophy paste [22].
