Conclusions: Varnish A was present on statistically significantly more surfaces than varnish B and varnish C, demonstrating its ability to migrate across tooth surfaces after application.  Varnish A also exhibited greater salivary fluoride concentrations 1hr after application suggesting the unique migration performance provides higher levels of bioavailable fluoride, in vivo.

  Study supported by 3M ESPE.
