Abstract

In the Scandinavian countries, as in several other countries, the discussion about the general supplementation of fluoride by the consumption of water has been intensive and sometimes inflamed. The situation in Sweden at present does not permit this possibility of rational caries prophylaxis to be utilised. Thus it has been necessary to take advantage of topical application of fluorides. It is therefore natural that a large number of clinical tests in this field have been carried out in Scandinavia. The experience of these clinical tests have been put to practical use with the result that today most children take part in one or other form of mass prophylactic measures, including the use of topical fluoride application.
