Abstract
This investigation is of particular importance because it reports the results of prevention of endemic hypoplasia of the permanent teeth by changing the common water supply from one containing toxic concs. of fluorides to one whose fluoride content did not exceed 1 p.m.m. The unusually long period of from 8 to 10 yrs. before clinical results could be observed is unique in epidemiological investigations of water-borne diseases. The results show that the production of mottled enamel was actually stopped in the above manner, bearing out theoretical predictions made some 10 yrs. previously.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
