Caries What is the relative effectiveness This review confirms the benefits of using fluoride toothpaste 1A 6-7
of fluoride toothpastes of different in preventing caries in children and adolescents compared with
concentrations in preventing dental placebo. However this is only statistically significant at fluoride
caries in children and adolescents? concentrations of 1000 ppm and use for children aged under 6
years should be balanced with the risk of fluorosis. The relative caries
preventive effects of fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations
increase with higher fluoride concentration.
In children using topical fluorides There should be a balanced consideration of the benefits of topical 1A 8-9
what is the risk of developing fluorides in caries prevention and the risk of the development of
fluorosis? fluorosis. There is weak unreliable evidence that starting the use of
fluoride toothpaste in children aged <12 months may be associated
with an increased risk of fluorosis. The evidence if use begins
between the age of 12 and 24 months is equivocal. If the risk of
fluorosis is of concern, the fluoride level of toothpaste for young
children (under 6 years of age) is recommended to be lower than
1000 parts per million (ppm).
Is sealant retention as good The results indicate that retention of sealants after a supervised 1a 79-80
