|
|
Objective: The effect of the fluoride ion tophoresis method was calculated through the performing the school fluoride application program in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR).
Methods: Total 1,596 students at Vientiane, in Laos, for 3 years, were participated in this study. And 2% NaF was applied with the ion tophoresis method (F-ionDCS; Dr-Prevent Co., Seoul, Korea), for 3 times per a visit and 3 times visit per a year, after oral health education, in order to check the decayed, missing, filled permanent tooth (DMFT) or decayed, missing, filled permanent tooth surface (DMFS), decayed and filled primary tooth (dft) and decayed and filled primary tooth surface (dfs) to estimate the prevention effect for dental caries.
Results: Caries prevention effect was revealed as 42.3% in 3rd grade, 27.0% in 4th grade 31.4% in 5th grade estimated with DMFT index and compared with the control group, moreover, 41.5%, 42.1%, and 34.6% of prevention effect measured by DMFS index.
Conclusion: Fluoride application with iontophoresis method by use of 2% NaF solution was effective for caries prevention in Lao children and it was recommended to extend this program to all primary schools in lao PDR.
