text: Perhaps the great effect of fluoride to control caries is based on the concentration needed for it to exert its effect: when fluoride is present at concentrations as low as 1 µM (approximately 0.02 ppm F), the oral fluids (saliva, plaque fluid) are supersaturated with respect to the mineral phase fluorapatite.
text: Thus, using fluoride in the right concentration (a very low concentration is needed as explained above), at the right place (the oral cavity) and at the right time (available continuously in a mouth where the disease is happening) favors its effect to control caries.
