Custo da fluoretação das águas de abastecimento público, estudo de caso Município de São Paulo, Brasil, período de 1985-2003

Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the cost of fluoridating the public water supply in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, from 1985 to 2003. Cost calculation for fluoridation of the public water supply used the following: capital cost of initial installation, chemical product (hydrofluosilicic acid), system's operational cost (maintenance, electricity, and human resources), and monitoring fluoride levels. Fluoridation was effective, since there was a decrease of 73% in dental caries in 12-year-olds--mean DMF wa… Show more

“…15 The lack of universal access to fl uoridated water keeps a large contingent of the population from benefi ting from this effective intervention, which is clearly cost-effective. 7 Although it is understandable that fl uoridation fi rst occurred in municipalities with larger populations and greater resources to expend in the public interest, the fact that its expansion has been so slow, that in the 21st century more than half of Brazilian municipalities still have not adopted the intervention, necessitates adjustments to the development of this public policy. These adjustments are urgent and necessary principally because interrupting fl uoridation, or not implementing it where it should be done, constitutes an illegal, scientifi cally unsustainable and socially unjust action.…”

“…A medida apresenta uma ótima relação custo-benefício: US$ 0,8 por pessoa/ano nos Estados Unidos 1 e US$ 0,03 (R$ 0,08 em 2003) por pessoa/ano na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil 3 . Por esses aspectos, foi considerado um dos dez maiores avanços da Saúde Pública no século XX nos Estados Unidos 4 .…”

“…Para a saúde pública, o baixo custo é outra grande vantagem do método: na cidade de São Paulo, o custo médio per capita/ano foi de R$ 0,08 (US$ 0,03), em 2003, sendo que o valor acumulado de 1985 a 2003 foi de R$ 1,44 por habitante 17 , sendo, portanto, um valor muito aquém quando comparado a procedimentos odontológicos, tais como restaurações, obturações, extrações e próteses.…”
