Abstract：Dental caries is a chronic,progressive and destructive disease occurs in the dental hard tissues and mainly caused by cariogenic bacteria.The etiology and pathological characteristics of dental caries suggest that compared with remineralization or antibacterial materials monotherapy in preventing and treating dental caries,The combined use of the two materials may be more active and effective.It is well known to all that fluoride is the most commonly used reminer-alization material,and fluoride-antibacterial material combined therapy has become a hot research in recent years for the reason that it cannot only reduce adverse conseguences caused by excessive use of fluoride,but also effectively prevent the occurrence and developnent of dental caries.This article reviews the recent research progress in fluoride-antibacterial ma-terial combined therapy in preventon and treatment of dental caries.
