Enamel Fluoride Concentrations in Unerupted Third Molars and the Influence of Fluoridated Water on Caries Scores

Abstract: Enamel fluoride concentrations in buccal and lingual surfaces were determined in successive layers obtained by the acid etch method. The 48 unerupted third molar teeth were from subjects who had lived continuously since birth in two Brazilian towns (Barretos and Ribeirão Prêto) with different fluoride levels in the drinking water but with similar socioeconomic conditions. The DMFT index was determined for children 7–12 years old living in the two towns. Enamel fluoride concentrations were significantly higher … Show more

“…This study showed that dentin F concentrations were significantly higher in teeth collected in Toronto and Fortaleza compared with those collected in Montreal, while enamel F concentrations were higher in teeth from Toronto when compared with teeth from Fortaleza and Montreal. These results were expected, since previous work has shown that the enamel of unerupted third molars has significantly less F concentration in areas where there are low levels of F in the drinking water (Mestriner et al, 1996).…”
