    Summary

    Systemic fluoride supplements are a viable alternative for the 50% of the U.S. population lacking optimally fluoridated water. While faculty are well-informed, practitioner knowledge of fluoride supplement protocols varies.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Public Health
    • Fluoride Therapy

    Background:

    • Optimal water fluoridation reaches only half the U.S. population.
    • Alternative methods for fluoride delivery are needed.
    • Systemic fluoride supplements offer a potential solution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the need for systemic fluoride supplements.
    • To evaluate professional knowledge regarding fluoride supplementation protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of dental faculty and practitioners.
    • Assessment of knowledge regarding fluoride supplement administration.

    Main Results:

    • Faculty demonstrated high awareness of fluoride supplement protocols.

  • Practitioner knowledge varied, with some being only somewhat informed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Systemic fluoride supplements are recommended for populations without optimal water fluoridation.
    • Further education may be needed for practitioners to ensure consistent protocol adherence.
