O artigo descreve as percepções de lideranças da área de saúde sobre aspectos relativos ao uso do flúor em saúde pública. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se como técnica de processamento de depoimentos o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). A população de estudo foi constituída pelos delegados à 13ª Conferência Nacional de Saúde, sendo a amostra definida por conveniência e composta por 310 delegados: 56 na etapa municipal, em Fortaleza (CE), 143 na estadual (Ceará) e 111 na nacional. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários semiestruturados. Verificaram-se lacunas de conhecimento sobre diversos aspectos do uso do flúor em saúde pública, o que indica a necessidade de se melhorar o nível de informação da sociedade sobre questões relativas à fluoretação. O desconhecimento dos delegados aliado aos dados encontrados na literatura sobre as deficiências no monitoramento e controle dos níveis de flúor na água são indicativos da necessidade de se reavaliar o papel dos atores sociais e os mecanismos utilizados no controle social.

Abstract:
The article describes the perceptions of health care leaders on issues relating to the use of fluoride in public health. This is a descriptive study with qualitative approach, using the Discourse of Collective Subject (DCS) as technique for processing the statements. The study population was comprised by delegates to the 13th National Health Conference; the sample was defined by convenience and consisted of 310 delegates: 56 in the municipal stage in Fortaleza (CE), 143 in the state stage (Ceará) and 111 in the national stage. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaires. There were gaps in knowledge about various aspects of the use of fluorides in public health, which indicates the need to improve the level of information of the society on issues relating to fluoridation. The lack of knowledge of delegates together with the data found in literature about the shortcomings in the monitoring and control of fluoride levels in water are indicative of the need to reassess the role of social actors and the mechanisms used in social control.
