The topical fluoride system preferred for treatment in adults is
1. acidulated phosphate fluoride
2. stannous fluoride
3. sodium fluoride
4. none of the above

πŸ“ Explanation:

Stannous fluoride is often favored for adults due to its ability to provide antimicrobial benefits along with its fluoride release, which can help in controlling dental caries and reducing sensitivity. It is commonly found in toothpaste and mouth rinses and is known for its effectiveness in preventing cavities and plaque formation.

Dental plaque is not necessary for the initiation of
1 pit and fissure caries
2. proximal caries
3. smooth surface caries
4. root surface caries

πŸ“ Explanation:

Pit and fissure caries are initiated by the accumulation of food debris and bacteria in deep, narrow fissures and pits on the tooth surface, which are protected from the normal cleansing mechanisms of the mouth, even in the absence of a thick, mature dental plaque biofilm.

Plaque is necessary for the initiation of proximal, smooth surface, and root surface caries.
