Abstract
The Health (Fluoridation of Water Supplies) Act 1960 (Stationery Office, Dublin) included provisions that a baseline survey of caries levels among children and adolescents would be undertaken prior to the implementation of the Act [Section 2, Subsection 4(a)(i)]. The Act also stipulated that regular caries surveys be undertaken “whenever and so often as the Minister requires” in order to monitor the effectiveness of fluoridation of water supplies in controlling dental caries. In this paper, some examples of the studies undertaken to comply with these welcome provisions are provided.
