[Results of serial studies in basle children after 12 years of water fluoridation and 4 years of prophylaxis in nurseries and schools].
The public water supply of Basel has been fluoridated to a content of 1 ppm since May 1962. A distinct reduction of caries could be observed since. The last four years have shown a decrease of caries incidence too, and the merit for this should be given to the prophylaxis department. Particularly the youngest individuals have benefited from this prophylaxis, because it has been intensified and its scope widened.
