Purpose: To establish dental fluorosis prevalence in 6 to 15 years old students, registered in public and private schools of Bucaramanga.Material and methods: A cluster randomized sampling to select the institution. Age, gender, and TF index by Thysltrup and Fejerskov criteria were considered. Associations with gender, age and institution were evaluated by patient and dental structure applying X2 and Fisher exact test considering α = 0.05.Results: Twenty-eight clusters were analyzed. One hundred ninety six children, 6 to 15 years old with 1562 teeth. Dental fluorosis prevalence was 77%, CI 95% (69.6% - 84.4%), TFI range between TFI 0 - 1 to TFI 0 - 6. The patients with TFI 0 to 3 were the highest frequency in 29.1%, CI 95% (19.37% - 38.8%). The prevalence in 9 to11 years old group was 87.2%, and in the public schools 94%, both statically significant (p = 0.001, 0.003), respectively. The analyses by tooth showed fluorosis in 52.8% of teeth.Conclusions: In 6 to 15 years Bucaramanga scholars, the fluorosis prevalence was 77%, and 52.8% teeth had fluorosis; however, the severity level in teeth was TFI level 0 (without fluorosis) 47% and TFI 1 to 3, 48%. |
