Combined Effect of Trace Elements and Fluorine on Caries

M. E. J. CURZON 1, B. L. ADKINS 1, B. G. BIBBY 1, and F. L. LOSEE 1

1 Eastman Dental Center, Rochester, New York 14603

Caries examinations of 251 children aged 12 to 14, from two Ohio towns that use water supplies with high contents of boron and strontium showed a mean DMFS score of 3.56 compared to a score of 5.54 in a control group of 338 children. Findings suggest that the significantly lower caries prevalence in the former group is related to the boron and strontium content of the water rather than a 0.2 ppm difference in the fluorine level.
