title: [Analysis of the fluoride content of drinking water in Austria 1993].
abstract: This study was undertaken to determine the concentration of fluoride ions in drinking water in Austria. The results show that the fluoride ion concentration is sufficient (0.7-1.0 ppm F-) to prevent caries only in very few parts of Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tirol, Carinthia, and Styria. Hence, additional fluoridation is necessary to achieve successful prophylaxis of caries.
