Abstract

The authors discuss the results achieved by parallel application of fluorine compounds in the prevention of dental caries in Yugoslavia.
In addition to douching of teeth with a 2% solution of sodium fluoride a tooth paste containing 0.27% of sodium fluoride was used at the Institute for Blind Children. The results achieved compared to those in children where only one method of prevention was applied, i. e. douching of the teeth, showed a significant reduction of dental caries and justifies the application of such a method of preservation of the teeth in children. In some countries parallel methods of prevention have been applied for quite some time. The opinions of individual authors are given and the results obtained by these methods are listed.
