Fluoridated dairy products significantly reduced children's dental caries in rural Chile. The program saw a 40-60% decline in cavities among 3-6 year olds without additional educational efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Nutrition

Context:

  • High prevalence of dental caries in rural Chilean children.
  • Chilean National Program for Supplementary Feeding aimed to reduce caries.
  • Study conducted in two rural communities in Chile's Sixth Region.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of fluoridated dairy products in reducing dental caries.
  • To assess the impact of a national supplementary feeding program on children's oral health.

Summary:

  • Children in Codegua received fluoridated dairy products, while those in La Punta received non-fluoridated products.
  • After three years, Codegua showed significant improvements in caries prevalence.
  • Caries prevalence declined by 40-60% in children aged 3-6 years.

  • Proportion of caries-free 3-year-olds increased by 74%; 4-year-olds by 71%.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrated the efficacy of fluoridated dairy products as a public health intervention for dental caries.
    • Achieved positive oral health outcomes without supplementary educational campaigns.
    • Results align with findings from fluoridated drinking water programs.
