“…The lack of water fluoridation is associated with the increase in severity and prevalence of dental caries 7 . The majority of dentists and medical practitioners perceive and agree that community water fluoridation may benefit caries prevention 9 . However, the perception of whether drinking water is properly fluoridated to prevent caries remains a concern 9 .…”

“…The majority of dentists and medical practitioners perceive and agree that community water fluoridation may benefit caries prevention 9 . However, the perception of whether drinking water is properly fluoridated to prevent caries remains a concern 9 . A report demonstrated that only 33% of parents in Qatar allowed their children to consume fluoridated tap water even though they knew the benefit of fluoride in the prevention of tooth decay 10 .…”

Fluoride supplementation in drinking tap water is one of the well-known effective methods for dental caries prevention. However, overexposure to fluoride following excessive fluoride intake from drinking water leads to dental fluorosis. Therefore, the assessment of daily fluoride consumption is required to calculate the optimal fluoride intake. The present study investigated the fluoride concentration in tap water collected from different areas in Thailand. A total of 27 locations were selected. Three samples of tap water (500 mL each) were independently collected from one location. Each sample in the same location was collected from the same faucet of tap water and stored in different containers. The samples were collected by dental students or dentists who worked in the selected areas from March 2020 to June 2020. Briefly, the faucet was cleaned with the tap water and the water was run from the faucet for 1-2 mins. Then, water was collected in 500 mL bottles and immediately capped. Samples were then stored at room temperature in tightly sealed bottles until analysis. Findings showed that most samples contained fluoride at a concentration lower than 0.7 mg/mL. Further, the water pH was in the range of 6.81-8.37. These levels were lower than the cut-offs established by the World Health Organization (WHO) for maximum levels of fluoride and pH in drinking water. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that fluoride levels in tap water from different regions in Thailand are lower than those recommended by WHO for fluoride levels in drinking water.

The study present the synthesis of a new fluoride sensor 7-O-tertbutyldiphenylsilyl-3-cyano-4-methylcoumarin (Si-CHMC) that imparts a blue fluorescence to an aqueous solution in the presence of fluoride ions. Si-CHMC has excellent sensitivity and selectivity towards fluoride. The results further indicate that fluoride concentrations as low as 0.01M can be accurately detected within almost instantly as the response time is within a second. Fluoride testing with Si-CHMC is simple and relatively rapid compared to the conventional methods that require skilled personnel. Hence, the method presented herein can be applied and is particularly useful for monitoring the quality of portable water among communities.

“…Nas últimas décadas, esta patologia tem diminuído (Lagerweij et al, 2015;Carvalho et al, 2018;Cruz et al, 2018) devido ao maior contato da população com os fluoretos nas diversas formas: abastecimento de água, higiene bucal diária com dentifrícios fluoretados e em visitas regulares ao cirurgião dentista que realiza aplicação tópica de flúor. Essas abordagens preventivas são dadas como importantes contra a ocorrência de lesões cárie (Bowen et al, 2016;Sabti et al, 2018;Meyer et al, 2018).…”
