Fluoride is in present time the chemical agent which is used most frequently in the fight against dental
decay. His action consists not only in reducing the solubility of hard dental tissues in acid medium, but
also making possible the accumulation of different minerals (Ca, P) on the enamel surface. In dental prophylaxis fluoride is used under different compounds with sodium or potassium, forming alkaline salts, or attached by a covalent link to the phosphor atom, forming monofloridephosphate.
