Clinical Trial

Effect of chewable fluoride tablets on dental caries in schoolchildren: results after six years of use



WS Driscoll, SB Heifetz, and DC Korts

Two groups of children, initially in the first and second grades, chewed, rinsed with, and swallowed an acidulated phosphate-fluoride tablet containing 1 mg of fluoride either once or twice a day in school. A control group of children followed the procedure once a day using a placebo tablet. An evaluation after six years of treatments showed that both the once-a-day and the twice-a-day procedures with fluoride tablets effectively reduced the incidence of dental caries.
