Anwendungsgebiete:

Supplementation of the diet with ten essential vitamins. Supplementation of the diet with fluoride for caries prophylaxis. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children up to age 16, in areas where drinking water contains less than optimal levels of fluoride, receive daily fluoride supplements. Multivitamin with 1.0 mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets provide 1.0 mg fluoride in tablet form for children 6-16 years of age in areas where the water fluoride level is less than 0.3 ppm. Multivitamin with 1.0 mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets supply significant amounts of Vitamins A, C, D, E, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B 6, vitamin B 12, and folate to supplement the diet, and to help assure that nutritional deficiencies of these vitamins will not develop. Thus, in a single easy-to-use preparation, children obtain ten essential vitamins and the important mineral, fluoride. Children using Multivitamin with 1.0 mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets regularly should receive semiannual dental examinations. The

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
It is well established that fluoridation of the water supply (1 ppm
fluoride) during the
period of tooth development leads to a significant decrease in the
incidence of dental
caries.
MULTIVITAMIN WITH 1.0 MG FLUORIDE CHEWABLE TABLETS provide sodium
fluoride and
ten essential vitamins in a chewable tablet. Because the tablets are
chewable, they
provide a topical as well as systemic source of fluoride.
Hydroxyapatite is the principal
crystal for all calcified tissue in the human body. The fluoride ion
reacts with the
hydroxyapatite in the tooth as it is formed to produce the more
caries-resistant crystal,
fluorapatite. The reaction may be expressed by the equation:
Ca 10(PO 4) 6(OH) 2 + 2F- ------- Ca 10(PO 4) 6F 2 + 2OH-
(Hydroxyapatite) (Fluorapatite)
Three stages of fluoride deposition in tooth enamel can be
distinguished:
1. Small amounts (reflecting the low levels of fluoride in tissue
fluids) are incorporated
into the enamel crystals while they are being formed.
2. After enamel has been laid down, fluoride deposition continues in
the surface enamel.
Diffusion of fluoride from the surface inward is apparently
restricted.
3. After eruption, the surface enamel acquires fluoride from the
water, food,
supplementary fluoride and smaller amounts from saliva.
