Foam based fluoride solution has the following advantage EXCEPT-
High-Yield Explanation
Foam based agents were developed in an attempt to minimize the risk of fluoride over dosage as well as to maintain the efficacy of topical fluoride treatment. The advantages of foam - based APF agents are :
1. It is much lighter than a conventional gel and therefore only a small amount of the agent is needed for topical application.
2. The surfactant in the foaming agent has a cleansing action by lowering the surface tension. This also may facilitate the penetration of the material into interproximal surfaces where its action is most needed.
3. Since APF foam does not require suctioning, it offers advantages for home use as well as for the treatment of young children and disabled persons where saliva evacuation may not be feasible.
