Abstract

Introduction Dental caries and fluorosis are a public health problem; their relationship with the levels of fluoride consumed should be analyzed and reported.

Aim. Analyze the levels of fluoride in the water consumed by school-aged children. Based on the results obtained, establish its relationship with the prevalence and severity of fluorosis and dental caries.

Material and methods. In total, 52 tests were taken from four different community water sources. The prevalence and severity of fluorosis was determined using Dean's index and the caries were classified according to their depth in 64 children. Descriptive and multivariate statistics were carried out.

Results. The highest fluoride values in water were those obtained in well water with 1.63 PPM, followed by spring water with 1.47 PPM. Fluoride levels in the purifiers were within the allowed range. The prevalence of fluorosis and caries in children turned out to be high. The following relationships were found: a) when a child reports not drinking water from a purifier, this is related to the presence of fluorosis and cavities, b) in children who do not drink water from the spring or the tap, but do drink water from purifying, fluorosis and caries are absent.

Conclusions. The levels of fluoride in the spring water and the intake tap exceeded the permitted limits and its consumption is related to the presence of fluorosis and cavities.
