Aspectos éticos e o uso de produtos fluorados na visão de lideranças de saúde

Abstract: IntroduçãoA palavra "ética" vem do grego ethos, que significa "morada; lugar onde vivemos". Mais tarde, ela passou a significar o "caráter", o "modo de ser" que uma pessoa ou grupo adquire ao longo da vida. Diz respeito aos costumes, condutas, regras de comportamento, modo de ser, como resultado de se pôr em prática determinados costumes ou hábitos considerados bons (FORTES;ZOBOLI, 2008).A ética da saúde, enraizada no terreno dos direitos humanos, se preocupa com valores relacionados com a manutenção da saúde … Show more

“…Only 11.5% of children had received at least one fluoride topical application by a dentist in the previous year; those children who brushed their teeth more frequently and those who had better socio-economic position [as measured by parental occupations] were more likely to receive the application. These trends are important to gauge overall potential for caries prevention as it has been well-established that use of fluoride technologies is associated with a decline in dental caries around the world (22).…”

“…In the case of drinking water, fluorinated compounds added to correct the concentration of water are chemicals with unknown risks 30 . Potential toxic effects of fluorides justify the suspension of the measure under this principle, adopting a cautious attitude against the uncertainty surrounding potential risks of an intervention 29 .…”

“…Potential toxic effects of fluorides justify the suspension of the measure under this principle, adopting a cautious attitude against the uncertainty surrounding potential risks of an intervention 29 . Under this reason, it is argued that the lack of evidence about the risks and benefits of fluoridation of drinking water makes supporting this measure an immoral behavior 30 . From the above, the need to apply technological advances to elucidate the real impact of fluoride in water is clear, as well as evaluating other means of delivering fluoride through innovative techniques, ensuring transparency and democratic participation of people.…”
