ABSTRACT:
A system for the strategic controlled delivery of materials to the dental surfaces of the intraoral cavity is disclosed. These materials have a desired or predetermined activity with respects to such dental surfaces. In particular, the system enables delivery of fluoridizing and other agents to interproximal sites among others, specially to contact points/areas (aproximal sites), to enable the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, elimination or retardation of dental caries.
