The numerous studies proving that fluoride administration, mainly via fluoridated water, is undoubtedly the most reliable, efficient and economic technique for the prevention of dental decay are considered. However we should not underestimate the existence of a certain degree of distrust among the public or certain technical and bureaucratic problems which can interfere with the diffusion of this method. The experiments conducted in some countries where water fluoridation has been introduced are also reviewed.

[Prevalence of Streptococcus mutans in a school group].

In the present study, S. mutans colony morphotypes has been investigated in salivary specimens obtained from 67 schoolchildren. Prevalence of these bacteria has been matched with DMFS in order to obtain information on cariogenicity of single morphotypes. Our data seems to suggest a correlation between total count of S. mutans colonies and caries experience, with major evidence for two colony morphotypes.
