Water fluoridation
Definition upward adjustment of the concentration
of fluoride ion in public water supply in such a waythat the concentration of f ion in the water may be
consistently maintained at 1 ppm.

Optimal level of fluoride
Optimum fluoride concentrationWHO 1971 0.7-1.2ppm
Cold climate -1.2 ppm
Hot climate 0.7 ppm
Moderate climate 1ppm
WHO 1994- 0.5-1ppm
Galagon and vermillion 1957 based on body wt & climaticconditions = ppm F (conc.) = 0.34/E

Prenatal fluoride supplements
1966 FDAbanned marketing of products bearing claim thatcaries would be prevented in their offspring of women who
used the products in their pregnancy
Rationale for the use of prenatal fluorides in cariesprevention
Transfer of F from maternal circulation to fetal circulation
Clinical trials with prenatal fluorides
