GUGLIUCCI, Ivanna; ABREU, María Soledad; LIBERMAN, Judith e ALVAREZ, Licet. Epidemiology of Dental Fluorosis in 12-year-old adolescents: Systematic review. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2024, vol.26, n.43, e334. Epub 01-Jun-2024. ISSN 0797-0374. https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2024n43e334.
The prevalence of dental fluorosis presents great variability worldwide. Its analysis is necessary as part of epidemiological surveillance
Objective:
To know the available literature on the prevalence of dental fluorosis among 12 years-old in relation to the community fluoridation method used.
Methodology:
Two researchers carried out a systematic review of the literature without time limits following the PRISMA guidelines, using the Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, BVS and Google Schoolar databases in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
Results:
19 cross-sectional articles were included, 16 belonging to communities that use fluoridated water, one that use fluoridated salt and 2 that compare results between communities that use fluoridated water or salt.
Conclusions:
there is great variability in the reports of prevalence of dental fluorosis. Regardless of the community fluoridation method used, fluorosis lesions of mild severity are the most prevalent.
