چکیده

Yes. brushing twice daily with topical fluoride toothpaste decreases the incidence of dental caries in infants and toddlers (strength of recommendation [Sor]: a, based on meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials [rCts]). High-concentration fluoride toothpaste delivers superior caries protection, but causes more dental fluorosis. use of high-concentration fluoride toothpaste should be targeted towards children at highest risk of dental caries, such as those living in areas without fluoridated water (Sor: B).

As the comparison of the efficacy of F toothpastes has rarely been studied in infants and toddlers, the present study aimed to compare the caries increment with the use of 1000 ppm F, 500 ppm...
