  		Figure 1. Absolute reduction in coronal caries increment that was attributed to fluoride exposure. *Indicates study published during or after 1980.

a Values to the right of the ‘no effect’ line (difference in caries increment is positive) indicate fluoride effective, and values to the left (negative difference) indicate fluoride ineffective.

{square} Community water fluoridation.

{circ} Self-applied fluoride.

{diamond} Combination of self-applied and professionally applied fluoride.

{blacktriangleup} Professionally applied fluoride.
