Provides up-to-date information on
the rationale for the use of fluoride in dentistry
Fluoride and the
Oral Environment
Editor
M.A.R. Buzalaf
This volume brings together current concepts relating to the use of fluoride in dentistry.
In contributions written by expert authors, data from this large and complex field have
been assembled into a clear sequence and presented in a lucid fashion.
The first section deals with the sources of fluoride intake and its metabolism, in order to
fully understand fluoride toxicity and the importance of monitoring intake. The second
section focuses in more detail on modes of fluoride application and the mechanisms by
which this ion interacts with the oral environment to cause a remarkable reduction in
dental caries. The role of fluoride in the prevention of dental erosion is also elucidated.
The complex mechanisms by which fluoride exerts its effects are described with clarity
and the entire text is accompanied by particularly useful illustrations.
As a clear up-to-date summary of current thinking in the field, this book will be essential
reading for research workers and postgraduate students. Established researchers and
teachers in both clinical and basic sciences will find it to be a valuable addition to their
libraries, and clinicians will be able to better evaluate the current scientific evidence on
the advantages as well as the hazards of fluoride in dentistry.

For over three decades, ‘Monographs in Oral Science’ has provided a source of in-depth
discussion of selected topics in the sciences related to stomatology. Senior investigators are
invited to present expanded contributions in their fields of special expertise. The topics
chosen are those which have generated a long-standing interest, and on which new conceptual
insights or innovative biotechnology are making considerable impact. Authors are
selected on the basis of having made lasting contributions to their chosen field and their
willingness to share their findings with others.
