Ever since researchers first realized the benefits of fluoride as an anticaries agent, they began investigating the effect of concentrated topical fluoride applications in reducing caries. Many forms of fluoride were studied, including solutions, gels or foams of sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, organic amine fluoride, acidulated phosphate fluoride, and nonaqueous fluoride varnishes in an alcoholic solution of natural resins and difluorosilane agents covered by a polyurethane coating. All of these professionally applied topical agents have anticaries benefits, although these benefits and the ease of application vary. One trend that stands out in the evolution of professionally applied fluoride agents is the development of increasingly more user-friendly products.
自从研究人员首次认识到氟化物作为防龋剂的益处以来，他们就开始研究局部应用高浓度氟化物在减少龋齿方面的效果。研究了多种氟化物形式，包括氟化钠、氟化亚锡、有机胺氟化物、酸化磷酸氟化物的溶液、凝胶或泡沫，以及天然树脂酒精溶液中的非水氟化物清漆和被聚氨酯涂层覆盖的二氟硅烷剂。所有这些专业应用的局部用剂都有防龋益处，尽管这些益处和应用的便利性各不相同。在专业应用的氟化物制剂的发展过程中，一个突出的趋势是开发越来越便于使用的产品。
