Fluoride varnish or fluoride mouth rinse? A comparative study of two school-based programs

Fluoride varnish or fluoride mouth rinse? A comparative study of two school-based programs

Objective: In many Danish communities, school-based fluoride programs are offered to children with high caries risk in adjunct to tooth brushing. The purpose of this field trial was to compare the caries-preventive effectiveness of two different fluoride programs in 6-12 year olds. Basic research design: Clinical controlled trial. Clinical setting: The 2-year study was conducted in Public Dental Clinics in a multicultural low-socioeconomic suburban area of Odense, Denmark with an elevated prevalence of caries compared to the city average.

Key words: fluorides, topicals, mouthwashes, cariostatic agents, Denmark
