Evaluated the incidence of dental fluoroses in school children the public net education in Joinville
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2005, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study evaluated the incidence of dental fluorosis in 640 six to twelve year-old schoolchildren of the public education net. The data allow the delimitation and establishment of community and individual fluorosis rates as preconized by Dean and Arnold (1943) [1], the prevalence of dental caries and the CPO-D rate, considering the ratio between dental caries and the fluorosis degree. It must be remembered that this net is submitted to the fluorine water application with topical application methods of fluoride. Besides this, the utilization of toothpaste, mouth rinse, or supplements, by the users, are efficient measures to prevent the caries disease, so there was a low dental caries rate in the studied population of Joinville, however there is a low risk of fluorosis. The city presented average fluorosis rate of 0.244 and CPO-D 2.6 to 12 years old. More studies are recommended in order to observe the severity and prevalence of anomalies in Joinville as well as the control of the adequate fluoride concentration in the public water supply.
