[Caries prevention by means of aminofluoride after 7 years of collectively conducted oral hygiene]
Abstract
In the framework of an oral hygiene action (starting with the first year of attendance at school), topically applied amine fluorides (Elmex fluid for supervised toothbrushing at school; Elmex tooth-paste for unsupervised use at home) produced a reduction in caries increase by 36.4% (DMF/T index) or 40.5% (DMF/S index) after 7 years.
