A relação entre a prevalência de cárie dentária e a ausência de fluoretação da água

Abstract

Dental caries, oral health in primary grievance, presents itself as a preventable disease process, and fundamental control of the microbiota involved in its etiology by means of mechanical actions and by adopting healthy eating habits. The preventive effect of fluoride was seen as an important factor for the decline in the prevalence and severity of dental caries in Brazil and other country. In 1985-1986, the Ministry of Health conducted a survey on caries in schoolchildren in São Paulo and a similar survey conducted eleven years later identified a reduction in caries prevalence coinciding with the start of water fluoridation in the city. Fluoridation of public water supplies is considered health measure population coverage with unmatched efficiency and great prevention of dental caries, in compliance with continuity and regularity. Despite the requirement, certain Brazilian communities are not yet implement this benefit by making people more susceptible to high levels of caries. The lack of universal access to fluoridated water keeps extensive contingent of the profit margin admittedly effective that presents significant cost-effectiveness. The adjustments are necessary, because of the interruption or non-fluoridated water health system constitute a legally act illegal, unsustainable and unfair to the public. The result of this study reveals that employ fluoride to prevent dental caries, there may be a side effect of producing mild degrees of dental fluorosis, but not using it has the drawback of not preventing the onset of disease. Although there is opposition against the measure, it is assumed that there would be justice in their jobs and their benefits would be greater than his curse.
