Abstract

Recent epidemiologic and related evidence suggests the following trends: 1. the prevalence of caries continues to decline in children of the US and several other developed countries; 2. the prevalence of mild dental fluorosis is increasing; 3. the majority of the cariostatic effects of fluoride are topical; and 4. dietary fluoride supplements are a risk factor for dental fluorosis. These trends, and the scientific evidence on fluoride and fluorosis, suggest that it is time to re-evaluate the use of dietary fluoride supplements. This paper examines the evidence for each of the four trends and the use of fluoride supplements in caries prevention today.

摘要

近期的流行病学及相关证据显示了以下趋势

在美国及其他几个发达国家，儿童龋齿患病率持续下降；2. 轻度氟斑牙患病率正在上升；3. 氟化物的防龋作用大多是局部性的；4. 膳食氟补充剂是氟斑牙的一个风险因素。这些趋势以及关于氟化物和氟斑牙的科学证据表明，是时候重新评估膳食氟补充剂的使用了。本文审视了这四种趋势各自的证据以及当今氟补充剂在预防龋齿方面的使用情况。
