The study was completed in May 2015 with  476 children aged 12 years at 9 secondary schools, applying the methodology of investigation and classification of WHO-2013 with the Dean's fluorosis index. Research results showed that: The rate of 12-year-old children with fluor contaminated teeth including the suspicion level was 13.2%. The rate of 12-year-old children with fluor contaminated teeth without suspicion level was 7.1%. Mostly suspected and very mild, there was no case of severe fluor contaminated teeth.
