Fluoride is a trace element which is well known for its
anticariogenic potential.Various forms of fluoride has been used in
dentistry such as fluoride varnishes, dentifrices, restorative
materials etc. The cariostatic action associated with
fluoride-releasing materials is usually attributed to a sustained
release of fluoride. Due to the fact that fluoride levels leached
from fluoride containing filling materials decreased over time, the
"recharging" of restoratives with fluoride has been suggested.
Rechargeability is the ability of the material to take up fluoride
and release it over a longer duration of time to prevent tooth
decay.The ability of a restorative to act as a fluoride reservoir
is mainly dependent on the type and permeability of filling
material, on the frequency of fluoride exposure and on the kind and
concentration of the fluoridating agent.
