Sodium fluoride Mouth Wash Pharmacology
Sodium fluoride Mouth Wash
Sodium fluoride acts systemically (before tooth eruption) and topically (post eruption) by increasing tooth resistance to acid dissolution, by promoting remineralization, by inhibiting the cariogenic microbial process and by inhibiting bacterial enzymes. Incorporation of fluoride into apatite crystals reduces the dissolution of apatite during acid attacks. Fluoride interacts with hydroxyapatite to form the less acid soluble fluorhydroxyapatite. Fluorhydroxyapatite is more resistant to dissolution by the acids produced by bacteria found in plaque. Fluoride may also promote the remineralization of enamel in early caries. Finally fluoride may reduce oral concentrations of cariogenic bacteria or reduce the metabolism of bacteria in plaque.
Absorption: Sodium fluoride is well absorbed after oral administration.
Distribution: It is widely distributed in body tissues and organs and concentrated mainly in the teeth and bone.
Excretion: It is excreted mainly in the urine. Small amount is also excreted in sweat, milk and intestinal secretions.
