Fluoridation

07/01/1994 - "The most widely used systemic alternative to water fluoridation is salt fluoridation, which has been found to be effective against dental caries in programs conducted in Switzerland and Hungary. "
05/29/1992 - "Although fluoridation of community water is highly effective in reducing the occurrence of dental caries, the prevalence of dental caries remains high in the United States. "
09/01/2020 - "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends 2 interventions proven effective in preventing dental caries (cavities) in a population: community water fluoridation and school dental sealant programs. "
07/01/1994 - "Fluoridation of domestic water supplies has been shown to be effective in reducing the prevalence of dental caries in numerous studies conducted world-wide over the last 50 years. "
04/01/2016 - "It is used worldwide and the World Health Organization recommends it when water fluoridation is not feasible as it is equally effective in the prevention and control of dental caries. "

11/01/2013 - "Systematic reviews of the safety and efficacy of water fluoridation attest to its safety and efficacy; dental fluorosis identified as the only adverse outcome. "
05/01/2004 - "As part of a large-scale fluoridation cessation study, standardized examiners assessed 8,281 school-aged children for dental fluorosis using the Thylstrup Fejerskov index, or TFI, in which scores range from 0 (no fluorosis) to 9 (severe loss of enamel with change of anatomical appearance). "
12/01/2018 - "A comparison of dental fluorosis in adult populations with and without lifetime exposure to water fluoridation."
06/18/2015 - " evaluate the effects of water fluoridation (artificial or natural) on dental fluorosis. "
05/01/2013 - "[Dental fluorosis prevalence in Mexican localities of 27 states and the D.F.: six years after the publication of the Salt Fluoridation Mexican Official Regulation]."

09/01/2010 - "Community effectiveness of public water fluoridation in reducing children's dental disease."
11/01/2003 - "In Israel, where dental treatment is not included in the basket of Health Services, fluoridation is the most efficient and cheapest way of reducing dental disease, especially for the poorer members of the population."
11/01/2003 - "A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the dental readiness training exercises at the Escuala Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. "
05/01/2003 - "A site visit revealed the absence of water fluoridation, high levels of dental disease, and a desire to have an American dental team perform the mission at the Escuela Lempira, a low-income elementary school in the Honduran capital city of Tegucigalpa. "
01/01/2003 - "The results demonstrate that water fluoridation is effective at preventing dental disease after controlling for confounding factors. "

01/01/2015 - "Public policies aimed at reducing socioeconomic inequalities and increasing access to health services such as fluoridation of the water supply may help to reduce tooth loss in the future. "
06/01/1975 - "Comparison of dental data obtained by examination of goldfields schoolchildren before and after 6 years of fluoridation shows improved dental health through reduced caries rates, less tooth loss, and a change in the pattern of child dental care."
01/01/2023 - "Individual and contextual covariates (proxy for human development level and water fluoridation coverage) explained a large share of income-related tooth loss inequities. "
12/01/2012 - "Greater risk of tooth loss among adult residents of Appalachian coal-mining areas is present and is not explained by differences in reported receipt of dental care, fluoridation rates, supply of dentists or other behavioral or socioeconomic risks. "
12/01/2012 - "The odds of two measures of tooth loss were examined controlling for age, race\ethnicity, drinking, smoking, income, education, supply of dentists, receipt of dental care, fluoridation rate, and other variables. "

09/01/2017 - "It delivered the highest level of F to plaque, provided greater measures of efficacy in both remineralization and inhibition of demineralization, and delivered substantial improvement in fluoridation of dentin, suggesting the potential for delivering both coronal and root caries benefits."
01/01/2008 - "Due to the reduced prevalence of edentulism and increased number of people keeping their natural teeth for a longer period, a future increase in root caries is expected, highlighting the importance of studies related to water fluoridation and its relationship with the oral health of adults and elderly, especially referring to tooth root."
01/01/2008 - "This study aimed to investigate root caries prevalence in areas with and without water fluoridation at the Southeast region of São Paulo State, in the adult population, employees of public and private schools, and elderly population. "
01/01/2008 - "There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) in the occurrence of root caries according to water fluoridation, although individuals living at non-fluoridated areas presented higher percentage of missing teeth; also, there was higher mean number of intact roots at fluoridated areas (p<0.05). "
01/01/1993 - "Hence, while at the individual level, the slow intra-oral dissolution of fluoride tablets can be of great benefit for coronal caries in children, adolescents, and possibly medically compromised adults (with or without root caries), their contribution on a community basis cannot readily be compared with that of water or salt fluoridation.
