1. Applying topical fluoride gel or foam (efda): Selecting the tray 1) Select a disposable tray that is of the appropriate size for the patient's mouth. The tray must be long and sufficiently deep to cover all erupted teeth completely without extending beyond the distal surface of the most posterior tooth. Trays areavailable in sizes to fit primary, mixed, and adult dentition. If the patient's mouth can accommodate it, you may use a double-arch tray. This saves time by treatingboth arches...
