In vitro evaluation of dentin tubule occlusion by three bioactive materials: A scanning electron microscopic study
Conclusion: Under the limitations of the present in vitro study, it can be concluded that theapplication of a CPP ‑ACP paste as well as a paste which contains fluoride is effective on reductionof dentin permeability. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

In Vitro Efficacy of Essential Oil Mouthrinse versus Dentifrices
ConclusionsWithin typical exposure times, the EO-containing mouthrinse can penetrate deep into the accumulating plaque biofilm compared to the chemotherapeutic dentifrice slurries, and may provide an efficacious alternative to triclosan, when used as an adjunct with a mechanical oral care regimen.Clinical SignificanceUsing viability mapping and CLSM, this study demonstrated that EO-containing mouthrinse penetrates and kills microorganisms deeper and more effectively in plaque biofilm in typical exposure times when compared to dentifrice chemotherapeutic agents, providing an efficacious alternative to triclosan or stannous ...

3M Expands its Prevention Portfolio with New Varnish
ST. PAUL, Minn. – (June 1, 2017) –3M, a leader in fluoride varnishes, has launched a new fast-releasing fluoride varnish in new flavors and a unit dose tray, to give clinicians another option for their patient ’s needs. 3M ’s new varnish complements 3M™ Vanish™ 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish, which has been the number one fluoride varnish on the market for ten years. 3M Vanish White Varnish is formulated to remain on teeth longer for more effective protection; with extended fluoride release, added tri-cal cium phosphate and a durable coating. Although longer fluoride contact is beneficia...

How to Protect Yourself Against Fluoride Toxicity
We're all familiar with the additive fluoride.
But do you know what your daily requirement for fluoride is?
Zero.
In the 1940s and '50s, dentists believed that fluoride was an essential nutrient necessary to build strong bones and teeth. Communities around the country started adding it to their drinking water. And the CDC heralded water fluoridation as one of the greatest public health feats of the 20th century.
The goal was to reduce dental cavities, but the experiment turned out to be a big bust.
Fluoride actually increases cavities.
One large study looked at 400,000 students. It found that for each 1 part-per mi...

Predicting advanced prostate cancer outcomes with NaF-PET/CT
A recent pilot study found that sodium fluoride (Na-F-18) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (NaF-PET/CT) accurately detects bone metastases in patients with advanced prostate cancer, and follow-up scans over time correlate clearly with clinical outcomes and patient survival.

Combined imaging modalities may change cancer management
PET/CT and whole-body MRI detect extraskeletal disease that may change the management of high-risk breast and prostate cancer patients, according to a recent study. In addition, the combined administration of F-18 sodium fluoride (NaF) and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in a single PET/CT scan showed significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy than alternative methods for the detection of skeletal lesions.
