Abstract
A survey of 254 boys aged 12–14 yr from a fluorosis area (Khouribga) and a nonfluorosis area (Beni Mellal) in Morocco demonstrated no differences in level of gingival inflammation. The level of plaque accumulation was consistently lower in the fluorosis area compared to the non-fluorosis area. This difference was less pronounced on teeth with a relatively low level of dental fluorosis (lower incisors) than on teeth with a relatively high level of dental fluorosis (canines and premolars).
