Equity in children’s dental caries before and after cessation of community water fluoridation: differential impact by dental insurance status and geographic material deprivation.

February 11, 2016 | International Journal for Equity in Health | McLaren L, McNeil DA, Potestio M, Patterson S, Thawer S, Faris P, Shi C, Shwart L. | 15:24.
Abstract Background One of the main arguments made in favor of community water fluoridation is that it is equitable in its impact on dental caries (i.e., helps to offset inequities in dental caries). Although an equitable effect of fluoridation has been demonstrated in cross-sectional studies, it has not been studied in the context of cessation of community water fluoridation (CWF). The objective of this study was to compare the socio-economic patterns of chil

Page 1 On June 20th, 1955, Brantford completed ten years of experience with mechanically fluoridated water. Earlier reports (1) have shown that the full decay-preventing effect of the fluoridated water on the permanent dentition of the Brantford children began to show itself in 1951, when the first permanent molars appeared in the mouths of the children born there in 1945. In 1953, after these teeth had been exposed in the mouths of the eight-year-old children for a period of two years out r
