Newburgh-Kingston Caries-Fluorine Study. II. Pediatric Aspects—Preliminary Report

Fluorosis in Nalgonda District, Hyderabad-Deccan

“…Fluorine is found in most foodstuffs and in drinking-water in areas of endemic fluorosis. Fluoridation of public water supplies has lately been undertaken in the United States, so that to-day nearly sixteen million people in the U.S.A. are drinking fluoridated water, and a marked reduction in dental caries has been noted (Ast et al, 1950;' Schlesinger et al, 1950;Heyroth, 1951Heyroth, , 1952Heyroth, , 1953. Stones (1954) has reviewed in detail the subject of fluoridation of domestic water supplies so far as it controls dental caries.…”

“…This led to the hypothesis that fluoridated water prevents the dental caries. In 1945, the Newburgh-Kingston caries-fluorine study, a prospective study, confirmed that the more fluorine in the water given to a study population, the fewer dental caries (Schlesinger, Overton et al 1950;Dean 1953;Schlesinger, Overton et al 1953;Ast, Smith et al 1956;Dean 1956;Schlesinger, Overton et al 1956). This study led to new public health policies recommending that fluorine be added in drinking water or that toothpastes and fluorine tables or solution be used in the prevention of cavities.…”
