Abstract: Aims To analyze the protective properties of fluor dental varnishes in teeth subjected to radiotherapy. Methods and results Eighty teeth were irradiated with a single dose of 60 Gy. Samples were randomized, and the following groups were made: negative control ( n = 16); irradiation control ( n = 16); irradiation + Duraphat ( n = 16); irradiation + Mi Varnish ( n = 16); and irradiation + Rivastar ( n = 16). Energy dispersive x‐ray (EDX) analysis and Raman spectrometry were performed to analyze the elemental composition and enamel's chemical structure. The Mi Varnish group presented a lower value ( p < .05) in the Ca/F ratio than the other groups. Duraphat group presents differences ( p < .05) in the ratio 1070 cm 1 ‐960 cm −1 compared to all the other groups. Conclusion Based on these in vitro results, the different varnishes used showed a similar preventive effect on the lesions produced by radiotherapy, with none standing out over the others
