Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of and views on school milk fluoridation schemes in England. Method: The impact of process variables on the effectiveness of milk fluoridation (MF) schemes, in terms of caries reduction, was investigated using a modelling approach. Water fluoridation was used as a surrogate for a notional, ideal MF scheme in which no process variables operate to reduce effectiveness. A predictive tool was developed to estimate the potential caries reduction of water fluoridation and then used to estimate caries reduction for a typical MF scheme with process variables. Data on process variables in MF schemes, which included parental consent, loss of children from the scheme, absence rate, number of days milk was consumed and the daily volume children drank, were collected and sensitivity analysis used to model the caries reduction compared with an ideal MF scheme and with water fluoridation. The effect of socio-economic status on some process variables was also investigated. The reasons why process variables impede the effectiveness of MF schemes and how best to reduce these effects were also investigated, by examining the perceptions and views of those involved in MF schemes on the barriers and potential solutions to optimizing these variables. Seventy two participants were interviewed using focus groups and one to one interviews. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze themes arising from interviews with health professionals. These themes were used to draft the preliminary topic guide for interviews with school participants. Analysis of the interview transcripts in the school setting was based on the grounded theory approach. Results and key findings: Process variables reduce the effectiveness of school MF schemes to 24% of an ideal MF scheme by the time children are 7 years old, and to 12% by the age of 11 years. The modelled relative improvement in caries experience in a typical MF scheme was 2.0% (0.48% absolute improvement in caries free) in the permanent dentition at age 11 years. Some potential solutions to optimizing process variables in MF schemes were identified. The emerging theory was the need for engagement with the MF scheme in schools for optimizing process variables using a whole school approach. However, there are significant barriers to optimal performance, not easily amenable to change. Conclusions: Modelling suggests that under the present implementation arrangements, there is significant cause for concern about the effectiveness of MF schemes. Engagement in MF schemes using a whole school approach is a potential solution for optimizing performance. However barriers outside the influence of schools and peTs may mean that MF schemes are seriously flawed as a public health intervention delivered in schools. A health economic evaluation is needed to compare MF schemes with alternative caries prevention interventions in the school setting before a large amount of resources is put into trying to address these issues.

Download or read book A Systematic Review of Public Water Fluoridation written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this systematic review has been to assess the evidence on the positive and negative effects of population wide drinking water fluoridation strategies to prevent caries. 214 studies met full inclusion criteria for one or more of the objectives. The best available evidence suggests that fluoridation of drinking water supplies does reduce caries prevalence. This review presents a summary of the best available and most reliable evidence on the safety and efficacy of water fluoridation. Given the level of interest surrounding the issue of public water fluoridation, it is surprising to find that little high quality research has been undertaken. As such, this review should provide both researchers and commissioners of research with an overview of the methodological limitations of previous search conducted in this area. The evidence of a benefit of a reduction in caries should be considered together with the increased prevalence of dental fluorosis. The research evidence is of insufficient quality to allow confident statements about other potential harms or whether there is an impact on social inequalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people associate fluoride with the practice of intentionally adding fluoride to public drinking water supplies for the prevention of tooth decay. However, fluoride can also enter public water systems from natural sources, including runoff from the weathering of fluoride-containing rocks and soils and leaching from soil into groundwater. Fluoride pollution from various industrial emissions can also contaminate water supplies. In a few areas of the United States fluoride concentrations in water are much higher than normal, mostly from natural sources. Fluoride is one of the drinking water contaminants regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because it can occur at these toxic levels. In 1986, the EPA established a maximum allowable concentration for fluoride in drinking water of 4 milligrams per liter, a guideline designed to prevent the public from being exposed to harmful levels of fluoride. Fluoride in Drinking Water reviews research on various health effects from exposure to fluoride, including studies conducted in the last 10 years.
