VarnishVarnish• Fluoride varnish is a topical agent containing a high concentration
of fluoride (5 percent sodium fluoride (NaF) or 22,600 ppm of fluoride) in a resin or synthetic base. Professionally applied fluoride varnishes were first developed in the 1960s, and have been in use for over 30 years.
• Fluoride varnishes are painted directly onto teeth and are intended to remain in close contact with enamel for several hours. Fluoride varnish sets on contact with intraoral moisture, so thorough drying prior to application is not required. Application time runs from one to four minutes, depending on the number of teeth within the oral cavity. In a typical varnish application, 0.3 to 0.5 milliliters (mL) of varnish are painted directly onto the teeth (0.1 mL of varnish was applied per arch in the UCSF study). Varnish may be applied with any convenient applicator (e.g., a disposable brush or cotton-tipped applicator, or the syringe-type applicator included with the product). After application, the fluoride varnish remains on the tooth surfaces for several hours, which facilitates maximal fluoride uptake. Fluoride varnish also minimizes the risk of inadvertent fluoride consumption and is easy to use on very young children.
