Changes in dental fluorosis and dental caries in Newburgh and Kingston, New York
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine whether the prevalence of dental fluorosis and dental caries had changed in a fluoridated community and a nonfluoridated community since an earlier study conducted in 1986. METHODS: Dental fluorosis and dental caries data were collected on 7- to 14-year-old lifelong residents (n = 1493) of Newburgh and Kingston, NY. RESULTS: Estimated dental fluorosis prevalence rates were 19.6% in Newburgh and 11.7% in …

Caries Prevalence, Treatment Level, and Sealant Use Related to School Lunch Program Participation
A total of 2,753 schoolchildren (8-11 years old) from two school districts received visual-tactile examinations for caries. The school districts were approximately 15 miles apart and located in fluoride-deficient (F less than 0.3 ppm) Long Island, New York. The higher socioeconomic community (HSES) had 9.2 percent of its students enrolled in the free or reduced-payment school lunch program; the lower socioeconomic community (LSES) had 50.3 percen…
Three‐year Root Caries Increments
Seven hundred and ninety-six adult subjects (mean age, 39.9 years) received visual-tactile examinations for root caries over a three-year period. All subjects were employed or were the spouses of employees and resided in fluoride-deficient communities on Long Island, New York. During the three-year observation period, 81.4 percent of the subjects did not develop root caries. The 18.6 percent who developed root caries averaged 0.8 DFS/year. The su…
Longitudinal Study of the Caries Susceptibility of Occlusal and Proximal Surfaces of First Permanent Molars
Ten- to 13-year-old children were examined annually for three years to determine the caries activity in the proximal and occlusal surfaces of first permanent molars. Almost every tooth with an unsound (carious or filled) proximal surface also had an unsound occlusal surface. Caries scores in proximal surfaces remained relatively constant and low. The percentage of teeth with occlusal caries or fillings increased throughout the study, even though …
The Surface‐Specific Caries Pattern of Participants in a School‐Based Fluoride Mouthrinsing Program with Implications for the Use of Sealants
This paper describes the surface-specific changes in the DMFS after seven years of a school-based mouthrinsing program occurring in the elementary schools of the fluoride-deficient Three Village Central School District, Long Island, New York. The effectiveness of mouthrinsing was evaluated annually by comparing the caries prevalence of a random sample of participants to that of Three Village elementary schoolchildren examined in 1975, prior to th…
Supervised Weekly Rinsing With A 0.2 Percent Neutral NaF Solution
The results of a school-based fluoride mouthrinsing program in the elementary schools of a Long Island, New York community (F less than or equal to 0.1 ppm) was described. Children enrolled in this continuing program rinse once a week for 60 seconds with a 0.2 percent neutral NaF solution. Kindergarteners rinse with 5.0 ml.; children in the first through sixth grade rinse with 10 ml. Program personnel mix and distribute the rinse to the classroom…
Posttreatment Benefits from Participation in A School‐Based Fluoride Mouthrinsing Program
The effect on caries prevalence of previous participation in a school-based 0.2 percent neutral NaF mouthrinsing program was assessed in junior-high-school students. The subjects had rinsed for three-to-five years as elementary-school students in the Three Village fluoride mouthrinsing program, Long Island, New York (F less than or equal to 0.1 ppm). The effects of rinsing were determined by comparing the caries prevalence of seventh, eighth, and…

Recruitment of a Clinical Field Trial Population
Open-ended telephone interviews were conducted with 294 families who refused participation in a school-based program of professionally applied topical fluoride. While the program was conducted in a flouride-deficient community, the level of topical fluoride contact in the homes of the nonparticipants was high. The traditional antifluoridationist reasons for nonparticipation were not expressed with frequency. Instead, the most frequent reason for …
The Effect of Toothbrushing Frequency on Oral Hygiene and Gingival Health in Schoolchildren
An epidemiological survey of brushing frequency, oral hygiene (OHI-S), and gingival condition (GI modified) was conducted on 290, 12- to 15-year-old schoolschildren. The purpose of the survey was to compare the clinical findings with the children's states frequency of toothbrushing. Since the same children had participated in a similar study approximately 2 1/2 years earlier, it was also of interest to determine what effect, if any, a change in r…
