Abstract:

fluoridation of public water supply is a public health measure used to prevent dental caries, and is a recommended maintenance of fluoride customers for the maximum risk and minimal risk of the method. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of the analysis of the fluorine vessels of the waters of 40 municipalities in the state of São Paulo,November 2004 to December 2016. A sample analysis was performed using the potentiometric method. Of 32488 samples, 50.94% contained fluoride levels within the recommended range. In 2004, it was verified that 21 cities (52.50%) had average levels within the recommended parameter, passing in 2016 to 32 cities (80.00%). It was observed that 15 municipalities with an initial level of 0.50 mgF / L in their water supply were adequate at the end of the project. In the first year of the study, 47.76% of the samples had values in the recommended interval, and in 2016, there was an increase to 58.22%. Most of the municipalities have fluoride at the recommended levels in their public water supply, evidencing an update of the external control programs as important strategies that assist in the monitoring of the method, having a fundamental participation in the control of the water quality of the population.
