[Added caries prevention by means of topical fluoride application in children of a district with fluoridation].
The effects of weekly mouth-rinsings with a 0.5% sodium fluoride solution were clinically and radiologically investigated in 58 children (age 13.6 years) from a town with water fluoridation (Karl-Marx-Stadt, 1.0 +/- 0.1 p.p.m.F) by means of a longitudinal study on the premolars and canines. As compared to an untreated control group (48 subjects), a 42% inhibition of fissure caries increment (DF/S index) was stated after 57-fold application (over 24 months).
