In Vitro Evaluation of the Effect of Fluoride Varnish Application Frequency on Initial Enamel Lesions

Öz:

Purpose: The aim of this study was the in vitro evaluation of the effect of ŕuoride varnish application at different frequencies on initial enamel lesions by surface microhardness (SMH) measurements. Materials and Methods: This in vitro experimental study was performed on 80 extracted unerupted third molar teeth. The teeth were divided randomly into 4 groups and Duraphat Varnish (Colgate Company, Australia) was applied. Group 1: Fluoride varnish application once a year, Group 2: Fluoride varnish application 4 times at one week intervals, Group 3: Fluoride varnish application 4 times a year with an interval of 3 months, Group 4: Application of ŕuoride varnish twice a year at 6-month intervals. Artiőcial enamel carious lesions were created by inserting the specimens in demineralization solution for 96 hours. The Vicker’s microhardness number (VHN) was measured at baseline, after demineralization and after ŕuor varnish application and 1 year after ŕuoride treatments of each group. The percent change in surface microhardness (% SMH change) was also calculated. Anova and The Kruskall-Wallis H test, t-test and/or Wilcoxon sign test were used with 95% conődence levels to compare differences. Results: The surface microhardness values and recovery of surface hardness values of the groups were found as follows: Group 3> Group 2>Group 4> Group 1. VHN of Group 3 was statistically signiőcantly higher than other groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: The hardness values of the enamel increase as a result of all application frequencies, but this effect may be longer with frequent applications.
