    Water fluoridation in Basel significantly reduced tooth decay in children. This public health measure is the primary driver, outweighing factors like improved hygiene or reduced sugar intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Preventive Dentistry

    Context:

    • Previous studies indicated a decline in caries frequency among schoolchildren in Basel.
    • The observed reduction in caries was noted in children aged 7–15 years.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the primary cause of reduced caries frequency in Basel schoolchildren.
    • To determine the extent to which water fluoridation contributes to decreased caries rates.

    Summary:

    • The reduction in caries frequency among Basel schoolchildren is not significantly attributable to dental eruption timing, improved oral hygiene, or decreased sugar consumption.
    • Evidence suggests that water fluoridation is the principal factor responsible for the observed decrease in caries prevalence.

    Impact:
