- Abstract
Background: Dental caries is a prevalent chronic disease affecting individuals worldwide. Fluoride toothpaste is a widely used preventive measure, but the optimal concentration remains debated. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at a dental center, comparing low (1000 ppm), moderate (1500 ppm), and high (2500 ppm) fluoride toothpaste. Caries incidence and progression were assessed over 2 years. Results: Significant reduction in caries incidence and progression was observed in all groups. However, no significant differences were found between fluoride concentrations. Conclusion: Fluoride toothpaste effectively prevents caries, irrespective of concentration. Individual factors may guide fluoride concentration choice.
