Abstract in brief

This review updates previous research on the effectiveness and safety of fluoride varnishes in preventing dental cavities among children and teenagers, based on studies up to 2013.
Researchers examined multiple international sources for controlled trials comparing fluoride varnishes to placebo or no treatment, focusing on changes in tooth decay over at least one year.
The main goal was to determine how much fluoride varnishes can actually reduce cavities, measured by the difference in new decay between treated and untreated groups, and to understand any factors that might influence their effectiveness.
