Abstract:

Fluoridation is considered an effective and wide-ranging measure in the fight against dental caries. Despite being mandatory in Brazil since 1974 the imlementation occurred and remains unequally in the country. The objective was to describe and analyze fluorine levels in the waters of the public supply network of the 2nd macroregion of the state of Pernambuco in municipalities with 50,000 inhabitants or more. This is a descriptive study based on a comparison of dataPernambuco Sanitation Company (Compesa), the Vigifluor Project, the Water Quality Surveillance Information System for Human Consumption (Sisagua) the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), on the fluoridation of waters in municipalities of the 2nd health macroregion of Pernambuco. Although the studied municipalities do not have artificial fluoridation, significant levels of natural fluorine were found in the sources that supply the regions. However, these values of fluorine do not remain constant in the waters of the supply network of the studied municipalities, therefore there is no preventive effect against caries. Artificial fluoridation is an effective measure in preventing caries and therefore should be expanded in regions that are not yet fluoridated.
