title: [Longitudinal studies on the inhibition of caries by amine fluoride within the framework of guided and supervised oral hygiene actions].
abstract: In a 3-year, 4-year and 5-year studies, the authors tested clinically and radiographically the caries-inhibiting efficiency of topically applied amine fluoride in defined groups (fluoride group with Elmex fluid and Elmex tooth-paste for unsupervised dental and oral hygiene at home, placebo group and control group). After the fifth study year, the caries increment in the children who were 11 years of age at this time had decreased by 30.6% (DMF/T index) and 32.1% (DMF/S index).
