Efficacy of preventive agents for dental caries. Systemic fluorides: water fluoridation.
Abstract: The effectiveness of fluoridation has been documented by observational and interventional studies for over 50 years. Data are available from 113 studies in 23 countries. The modal reduction in DMFT values for primary teeth was 40-49% and 50-59% for permanent...
Is There A Link Between Fluoridated Water and Osteosarcoma?
