The Controversy over Community Water Fluoridation : an Analysis of its Effects and Reasons Behind the Arguments
TLDR
This thesis explores different viewpoints on the history of community water fluoridation and reflects on the arguments made by the proand anti-fluoridationists in the United States, and draws a conclusion as to why community water fluoride has not been implemented in all cities, despite its overall health benefits.
Community water fluoridation and caries prevention: a critical review
TLDR
Although water fluoridation may still be a relevant public health measure in poor and disadvantaged populations, the use of topical fluoride offers an optimal opportunity to prevent caries among people living in both industrialized and developing countries.
Effects of Fluoridated Water on Pineal Morphology in Male Rats
TLDR

Dental caries and dental fluorosis according to water fluoridation among 12-year-old Brazilian schoolchildren: a nation-wide study comparing different municipalities
TLDR
Lower prevalence of dental caries was found with the increasing percentage of municipalities with optimal fluoridated water and with the increase prevalence of dentist fluorosis.

A Systematic Review of Public Water Fluoridation
TLDR
The aim of these studies is to provide an estimate of how much an outcome has changed over a period of time, and such studies have an advantage over cross sectional studies in that the baseline values for the prevalence of the outcome are higher.

TLDR
Any differences in fluoride bioavailability between drinking waters in which fluoride is present naturally or added artificially, or the waters are hard or soft, were small compared with large within- and between-subject variations in F absorption.
