The Wayne County data indicate that administration of fluoride tablets in school should be recommended in nonfluoridated areas as an effective public health measure to prevent dental caries. In addition to reducing dental caries effectively, administering fluoride tablets in school has a number of other desirable features; it is safe and relatively inexpensive; it requires no paper products and thus eliminates waste disposal; it takes little time to administer (less than three minutes per day for a classroom of average size); it is easy for young children to learn and to do; and it can be supervised by teachers, aides, or volunteers after minimal training. Findings that benefits still persist, although perhaps to a slightly lesser degree, four years after treatment is discontinued further accentuate the public health appeal of the procedure. The data give no indication that two fluoride tablets a day are more protective than one tablet a day. Therefore, a single one-mg fluoride tablet daily is recommended for school programs because of lower cost and greater feasibility.
韦恩县的数据表明，在未加氟地区的学校应推荐服用氟化物片剂，作为预防龋齿的一项有效的公共卫生措施。除了能有效减少龋齿外，在学校服用氟化物片剂还有许多其他可取之处；它安全且相对便宜；不需要纸制品，因此无需进行废物处理；给药所需时间很少（对于一个平均规模的班级，每天少于三分钟）；年幼的孩子很容易学会并操作；并且经过最少的培训后，教师、助理或志愿者就可以进行监督。治疗停止四年后仍有好处，尽管程度可能稍小，这一发现进一步凸显了该程序对公共卫生的吸引力。数据没有表明每天服用两片氟化物片剂比每天服用一片更具保护作用。因此，由于成本较低且可行性更高，学校项目推荐每天服用一片一毫克的氟化物片剂。
