Dentistry has grown a long way from treating conditions to preventing them. Dental caries is one such condition where preventive measures have been adopted to a greater extent. The fluoride anticariogenic action is greatly related to inhibition of demineralization and remineralization of incipient carious lesions. Reports have shown that fluoride released from fluoride-containing restorative materials effectively protected the enamel from demineralization in the region near to the restorative materials.
