[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST tR0xC0if. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study sought to determine whether the prevalence of dental fluorosis and dental caries had changed in a fluorited community and a nonfluoridated community since an earlier study condected in 1986. Methods Dental fluorosis and dental caries data were collected on 7-to 14-year-old lifelong residents (n=1493) of Newburgh Kingston, NY. Results. Estimated dental fluoro sis prevalence rates were 19.6% in Newburgh and 11.7% in Kingston. The greatest disparity in caries scores was observed between poor and nonpoor children in nonfluoridated Kingston. Conclusion The prevalence of dental fluorosis has not declined in New burgh and Kingston, whereas the preva lence of dental car has continued to decline.
