Abstract

Around 3.58 billion people suffered dental and oral health problems, especially dental caries. Fluoride varnish is commonly used to prevent dental caries. There are many prior methods available to formulate fluoride varnish that differ in the stirring temperature used. The stirring temperature has an important role to ensure that the components used in a fluoride varnish formulation are well dissolved in the solvent and caries the remineralizing agent sodium fluoride. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of stirring temperature on fluoride ion release and pH of fluoride varnish. The temperature used in this research varied from 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C, and 100°C. The fluoride ion release test and the pH test were done for 360 minutes with 30 minutes intervals of data collecting and were repeated 3 times for each sample. One-Way ANOVA statistical test showed that stirring temperature has a significant effect on fluoride ion release (P<0.05). The most optimal fluoride varnish stirring temperature is at 90°C with the amount of fluoride ion release of 252.29 mg/L after 240 minutes of testing. All average pH of fluoride varnish samples produced in this research is above the critical pH of hydroxyapatite and thus is capable of driving remineralization to occur.
