| Summary: |
In contrast to the anticipated increase in dental caries following the
cessation of water fluoridation in the cities Chemnitz (formerly Karl-Marx-Stadt)
and Plauen, a significant fall in caries prevalence was observed. This trend corresponded
to the national caries decline and appeared to be a new population-wide
phenomenon. Additional surveys (N½1017) carried out in the formerly-fluoridated
towns of Spremberg (N½9042) and Zittau (N½6232) were carried out in
order to support this unexpected epidemiological finding. |
