Abstract:

It is a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate and compare the prevalences of dental fluorosis in Brazilian cities with water supplies treated without fluoridation and in locations with underground water supplies. In December of 2016, cross-sectional studies were searched in 8 databases, including the \"grey literature\". Prevalences were estimated through a mixed random effects model considering the locations as subgroups. The heterogeneity among studies was assessed with the I2 statistics and the Cochran Q test. A total of 1038 records were found,which only 18 articles met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to analysis. The meta-analytic model estimated a prevalence of dental fluorosis of 8.92% (95%CI: 5.41% to 14.36%) in cities supplied with water treated without fluoridation, and of 51.96% (95%CI: 31.03% to 72.22%) in cities supplied by artesian wells. The heterogeneity among studies was high: I2=95% (p
