Abstract
The subjects of this study were primary school children who had agreed to mouthrinsing with fluoride once a week after school lunch. The mouthrinsing program started in 1987 and continues up to the present.The number of DMF teeth was investigated at 11 or 12 years of age.
The results showed that since 1990 the numbers of DMF teeth have been lower than that of the Japanese average of 12 years of age. In 1997, ten year after the start of the program of mouthrinsing with fluoride, the DMF of this study was 0.75, while that of the average Japanese was 3.34. Regular mouthrinsing with fluoride and oral health care instruction by the school dentist was more effective in preventing of dental caries than only regular mouthrinsing with fluoride.
