OBSERVATIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SALT FLUORIDATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF DENTAL CARIES

摘要：

INTRODUCTIONSalt for human consumption has been an important and successful tool in public health for several decades as a carrier for iodine for prevention of Iodine Deficiency Diseases (IDD -goiter and crippling diseases causing irreparable intellectual impairment and stunted growth), and fluoride for prevention of dental caries. Fluoride was first added to salt in the mid 1950s (1) in Switzerland, and its use has expanded to other countries in Europe, the Americas, and now to other regions of the world (2).
