Alteration of composite resin after the application of fluoride varnish: an in vitro study

Abstract

In spite of the measures taken, with the disruption of enamel and dentin it is necessary to use a restorative material to attend the progression of the caries disease. The decision of the material varies according to the type of lesion, cavity size, working protocol, among others. However, the difference is the use of fluoride varnish during treatment, which due to its properties it would be understood that it could lengthen the lifetime of the restoration, as well as maintaining its remineralizing effect on the remaining structure.5,6
