title: [Will fluoridation of the drinking water influence the extent of treatment in orthodontic extraction therapy?].
abstract: Whether fluoridation of drinking water would have an influence on orthodontic extraction therapy and especially on selection of extraction objects was inquired. Treatment results of 256 patients of a town with fluoridation of drinking water (Chemnitz) who had extraction of teeth under their orthodontic treatment, were interpreted and compared with these of a district without fluoridation of drinking water (Berlin). Evident differences concerning extraction frequency of the various species of teeth were noticed.
