  1. A. only at early stages of root caries.
  2. B. only at advanced stages of root caries.
  3. C. only in patients in whom no cavitation has yet occurred.
  4. D. only in patients who live in the areas in which a fluoride concentration in drinking water is < 1 ppm.

Ask whether fluoride's role in root caries ends once a cavity forms, or whether it also helps arrest lesions and protect restorations.
