| dc.description.abstract | This minithesis presents a systematic review of dental literature with the objective to investigate trends in dental fluorosis during the period 1980 to 2000. A Medline search was carried out for peerreviewed scientific dental literature published in English from 1 January 1980 to 31 December 2000. From the publications retrieved 54 satisfied the inclusion criteria. The data on fluorosis prevalence were examined in three categories: 0 to :S 0.3 ppm F, > 0.3 to :S 0.7 ppm F and 0.7 to :S 1.4 ppm F. Since there was no significant difference in fluorosis between 1980 to1989 and 1990 to 2000 the whole period was regarded as one entity. | en_US |
