title: [The influence of the optimal fluoride concentration upon the gingival health during the period of mixed dentition].
abstract: The paper is presenting analyzes of the condition of marginal periodontium in children age 7 to 14 from Novi Sad (F level 0.2 ppm) and Sombor (F level 1.2 ppm). The gingival health was determined by methodology WHO-TRS 621 for every tooth which had reached occlusal plane. As statistical unit side, tooth and person (with 80-100% of healthy sides) were used. With a side as a unit the health condition was higher in Sombor for every age. In the 8, 10 and 12 year health condition was lower for both locality. Correlation coefficient for both distribution was r = 0.94. In the case of tooth as a unit no difference was found in 8 year of age. Correlation coefficient was lower (r = 0.74). Concerning person there were no difference in the ages of 8, 10 and 12. The results pointed to the necessity to use person as experimental unit together as side. Observed difference between two localities is not enough to exclude other primary preventive measures for periodontal diseases. The higher incidence of the inflamed gingival units in ages of 8, 10 and 12 deserves more detailed investigation of possible causes.
