Abstract

The roles of fluoride in general and fluoride varnish in particular in the prevention and treatment of dental caries is increasingly understood. Many studies have confirmed the contributions of fluoride in reducing the prevalence and the severity of dental caries all over the world. The study was conducted on 258 children who is 7 years old with the objectives: To evaluate the caries prevention effects of 5% fluoride varnish and fluoride toothpaste. This is a randomized controlled clinical study conducted after a descriptive cross-sectional study on 1212 students in 6 districts in Hanoi city. The children were selected to be examined and evaluated for their caries status, then divided into two groups: in the first group, children were applied with 5% fluoride varnish, in the second group children were asked to use fluoride toothpaste for daily brushing. After every 6 months, 12 months and 24 months the children were re-examined to evaluate their dental caries status. The study results showed that the group using fluoride varnish had a lower prevalence of dental caries than the group using fluoride toothpaste. From these results, it is possible to make recommendations: The use of fluoride varnish is one of the good choices to prevent dental caries for children in the community.
