Description

The purpose of this investigation is to clarify the spread of the school-based fluoride mouthrinsing program over the past twenty years throughout Japan. Data were collected by questionnaire surveys regarding the schools and children participating in the program, frequency of rinsing, mouthrinsing agent used, fluoride concentration of the rinsing solution and financial support for the program. Questionnaires were sent to the key persons and dentists of the non-profit Japanese Conference on the Promotion of the Use of Fluoride in Caries Prevention (NPO-JPUF) by mail or e-mail every two years. Of the 47 prefectures in Japan, the fluoride mouthrinsing program started in a single prefecture in 1970, and spread to 32 by 1992 and to 45 by 2004. In 2004, the total numbers of schools and individuals participating in the program were 3,923 and 396,702, respectively. Although the numbers of schools and children participating in the program are increasing, they remain modest. In 2010, the numbers of schools and individuals participating in the school-based fluoride mouthrinsing program in Japan is estimated to be 8,782 and 896,916, respectively. We propose that the school-based fluoride mouthrinsing program, an important item with regarding caries prevention in Japanese children, should be included in Healthy Japan 21 at the intermediate assessment in 2005.
