Survival analysis of caries incidence in African-American school-aged children.
Objectives To conduct an assessment of time-dependent covariates related to dental caries of the permanent dentition among a low socioeconomic status, understudied cohort of children, incorporating time-dependent covariates through the application of extended Cox proportional hazards modeling. Methods This study modeled the time to first cavitated dental caries in permanent teeth among school-aged children and […]

The Brantford-Sarnia-Stratford Fluoridation Caries Study 1955 Report.
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 […]

The effective use of fluorides in public health.
Case study 2 Salt fluoridation in Jamaica Salt fluoridation was introduced into Jamaica (population, 2.5 million) in 1987; all salt for human consumption is fluoridated (30). Fluoride toothpastes had been available in the country since 1972, and while their use may have had a protective effect (32), the notable decline in the prevalence of dental […]

[Oral cavity as a target and a marker of environmental exposures: developmental dental defects]
This full article is available in French. The following is a Google translation: Summary The oral cavity is one of the major routes of environmental contamination known to be involved in many chronic pathologies (cancers, fertility and behavioral disorders) viafood, medication or even breathing. These environmental factors including, inter alia, endocrine disruptors and excess fluorine, can disturb […]

Association Between Water Fluoridation and Income-Related Dental Caries of US Children and Adolescents.
This cohort study examines the incidence of dental caries in children and adolescents of varying income levels living in areas with vs without water fluoridation. By age 11 years, an American child living in poverty has twice the level of dental caries (tooth decay) as one living at 3 times the poverty threshold.1 To achieve […]

Effects of Prenatal Exposure to Fluoridation on Dental Caries.
Summary and Conclusions Five cohorts totaling 2,509 children of the same age (7 years, 2 through 4 months), all with essentially the same postnatal exposure to optimally fluoridated water but with different patterns of prenatal exposure, were compared for prevalence of dental caries in their deciduous cuspids and molars and first permanent molars. The data […]
