One hundred and twenty-seven teeth from 114 children living in places with different drinking water supplies were analyzed for the trace element F.
A clear relationship between low fluorine content in water and teeth and a correspondingly high dental caries index, as well as the opposite, has been established.
Further investigations are needed to explain the individual differences of tooth fluorine content in children of the same region and in different teeth of the same individual.
