Abstract : A two-year clinical study was carried out on 181 children 6 to 11 years old to compare the caries-preventive effect of three commonly used topical fluoride agents: an acid phosphate-fluoride solution (2% NaF, 0.15 M H3PO4, pH 3.6), an 8% aqueous stannous fluoride solution, and a 2% aqueous sodium fluoride solution. Four groups - including the control group - were formed, each group representing as nearly as possible an equal cross section of the entire body of subjects. The most careful procedure of topical application with a tray was done; applications were performed once yearly except in one group, which received topical application of a 2% aqueous sodium fluoride solution four times in two weeks, according to the routine method introduced by Knutson et al. After two years of investigations, both DMFT- and DMFS-reductions were demonstrated clearly in groups applied an acid phosphate-fluoride and/or 2% NaF solution. On the contrary, group applied an 8% SnF2, solution failed to demonstrate these reductions.
