“…Their effectiveness has been established on evidence from randomised trials and more recently from a series of Cochrane systematic reviews of randomised trials. [17][18][19][20][21][22] Overall, fluoride toothpaste is the cheapest and the most widespread method to control dental caries. [23][24][25] A recent randomised, double-blind, clinical trial examined the anticaries effectiveness of fluoride dentifrices containing 1700, 2200 and 2800 ppm fluoride ion compared with a 1100 ppm fluoride control toothpaste, in schoolchildren aged 6-15 years.…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

“…It modifies bacterial metabolism in dental plaque by inhibiting some enzyme processes, inhibits the production of acids by acting on the composition of the bacterial flora or on the metabolic activity of micro-organisms, and reduces demineralization and favors the re-mineralization of early carious lesions. However, fluoride's mechanism of action is only topical within a reach of few µm into enamel respectively into the subsurface of carious lesion (3)(4) .…”

“…Repeated claims in Department of Health guidance, ministerial statements and in NHS consultation and policy documents that there is 'no evidence' of harm and that water fluoridation is safe and effective and reduces dental health inequalities is clearly not an accurate assessment of the current evidence (CDO 2008, SCSHA 2009). There is no doubt that when applied topically to the surface of the tooth, fluoride is beneficial in preventing dental caries (Marinho et al 2003). However,…”

“…Given the unknown balance between benefit and harm in relation to water fluoridation, we should perhaps be more cautious in pushing forward with further schemes and focus more on developing good oral health strategies that target support for those children and their families who experience worst dental health. There is good evidence that when delivered well such schemes are highly effective (Marinho et al 2003). Changing key long-standing public health policies is difficult but we should heed Professor Gold himself who suggested the key problem is that 'Every complex problem has at least one simple, intuitive, and well presented wrong solution' (quoted in Kundt 2008).…”
