A 20-month study found that a fluoride mouthrinse program had no significant effect on preventing cavities in 610 children. Low participation and compliance among high-risk children may explain the lack of cariostatic effect.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Preventive Dentistry

Background:

  • Fluoride mouthrinses are widely used for caries prevention.
  • Effectiveness can be influenced by program adherence and participant characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based fluoride mouthrinse program.
  • To investigate the impact of participation and compliance on caries reduction.

Main Methods:

  • A 20-month study involving 610 fifth-grade children in unfluoridated communities.
  • Comparison of caries increment between participants and non-participants/dropouts.
  • Analysis of the relationship between rinse session frequency and decayed, missing, or filled surfaces (DMFS) increment.

Main Results:

  • The fluoride mouthrinse showed no significant cariostatic effect overall.
  • Children with high caries risk characteristics were less likely to participate or comply.
  • A lower DMFS increment was observed in children with 50 or more rinse sessions.

Conclusions:

  • Low participation and compliance among high-risk children may limit the effectiveness of fluoride mouthrinse programs.
  • Targeted interventions may be needed to improve adherence in vulnerable populations.
  • Higher compliance with fluoride mouthrinses correlates with better caries prevention outcomes.
