Background
Supervised tooth brushing is an important part of leading national oral health improvement programs in different countries.
With the cessation of water fluoridation in 2014, a new program was immediately required to provide community-based caries prevention, especially amongst young children.
The aim of this study was to determine whether a supervised tooth brushing program (STBP) in kindergartens could reduce dental caries amongst preschool children, when compared with c

Conclusions
Adult variants of osteopetrosis and fluorosis have similar symptoms and radiological findings including an increased bone mineral density. However, the underlying pathophysiology of increased bone density distinguishes osteopetrosis from fluorosis. Osteopetrosis is characterized by decreased bone resorption in contrast to fluorosis which is characterized by increased bone formation. Fluorosis can result in reversible muscu
Severe effects of fluoride on human health can be seen majorly in developing and underdeveloped countries. Among these countries, India is the most affected country, where there are many endemic fluorosis regions. India also has one of the largest fluorite deposits making its groundwater highly contaminated with fluoride. Most of the regions in Asia and Africa are prone to fluorosis based diseases. In Asia, India and China show the majority of cases. Whereas in the African continent, Tanzania is
