title: Ten years of fluoridation in Perth, Western Australia.
abstract: The caries experience of children aged six, eight, and ten years, examined in Perth after ten years of fluoridation was less than half that of children examined before fluoridation. In a concurrent survey, the caries experience of children examined in two unfluoridated towns was double that of the Perth children.
