Change in proportion of caries-free children (permanent teeth) · People of all ages in a community setting; the included caries studies were all in children aged 3 to 16 years
Initiation of water fluoridation (artificial or natural) may leads to higher change in proportion of caries-free children (permanent teeth) compared with low/non-fluoridated water (0.4 ppm fluoride or less) (low certainty).
