Resumo: Purpose: Water fluoridation is a safe, comprehensive, effective and economic means of controlling caries. The responsibilities for monitoring the levels of fluoride in drinking water are set out by the Brazilian Ministry of Health in 2004. The objective of this study was to analyze the fluoride content of the public water supply in eight districts of the northwestern area of the state of São Paulo for 36 months. Methods: Three major points of collection for each city were chosen, considering that all have unique sources of public water supply. Samples were collected once a month on weekdays at previously established points and were analyzed in duplicate on a monthly basis from November 2004 to October 2007 in the laboratories of the Center for Research in Public Health of the Postgraduate Program in Preventive and Social Dentistry (NEPESCO) of the School of Dentistry of Araçatuba – UNESP, using an ion analyzer attached to an electrode specific for fluoride. The results were sent monthly to the municipalities. Results: Of the total samples (n = 864), 77.4% had adequate levels of fluoride (n = 669) and 22.6% had inadequate levels (n = 195), of which 19.8% (n = 171) were below and 2.8% (n = 24) were above the recommended level. There was variation in samples collected at the same point of collection over time and between points in the same municipality. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of monitoring fluoride levels in public water supplies so that the population can enjoy the benefits of this preventive method.

As responsabilidades da vigilância dos teores de flúor nas águas de abastecimento são estabelecidas na portaria n0518 de 2004. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o teor de fluoreto das águas de abastecimento público, durante 36 meses, de oito municípios do noroeste do Estado de São Paulo. Metodologia: Definiram-se três pontos de coleta para cada município, considerando que todos possuem fonte única de abastecimento público. As amostras foram coletadas uma vez ao mês em dias úteis nos pontos previamente estabelecidos e analisadas mensalmente em duplicata no período de novembro de 2004 a outubro de 2007, no laboratório do Núcleo de Pesquisa em Saúde Coletiva do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia Preventiva e Social (NEPESCO) da Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba – UNESP, utilizando-se um analisador de íons acoplado a um eletrodo específico para flúor, sendo os resultados encaminhados mensalmente aos municípios. Resultados: Do total das amostras (n = 864), 77,4% apresentaram teores adequados (n = 669) e 42,6% inadequados (n = 195), sendo 87,7% abaixo (n = 171) e 12,3% acima (n = 24) do recomendado. Houve variação no mesmo ponto de coleta ao longo do tempo e entre os pontos em um mesmo município. Conclusão: Existe variabilidade nas concentrações dos mesmos pontos de coleta em diferentes meses e entre os pontos de mesmo mês, evidenciando a importância da vigilância para que a população usufrua dos benefícios deste método preventivo.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2009-10-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articlelongitudinalapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/4863Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 24 No. 4 (2009); 372 - 376Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 24 n. 4 (2009); 372 - 3761980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/4863/4777Saliba, Nemre AdasMoimaz, Suzely Adas SalibaSaliba, OrlandoBarbosa, Tatiana de Freitasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T12:57:32Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/4863Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T12:57:32Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
