states of the thyroid gland; also the change of microhardness was assessed, after applying
different caries preventive remedies: infusion of Azerbaijan black tea with 10 ppm F- and 3%
Remodent with fluoride varnish.

combination of 3% Remodent with fluoride varnish as effective caries preventive remedies for persons
with hypofunction of the thyroid gland and for children living in endemic regions for goiter.
