Basic methods for assessment of renal fluoride excretion in community prevention programmes for oral health

Overview

This manual is an update of the booklet Monitoring of renal fluoride excretion in community prevention programmes in oral health from 1999. It includes practical experience from national fluoridation programmes and will primarily be useful for Member States to plan effective surveillance of fluoride exposure. The manual will stimulate oral health personnel and public health administrators to use a systematic approach to managing and analysing data obtained from different levels of fluoride exposure.
