Tavener 2006.
Methods | RCT conducted in non‐fluoridated areas in UK. | |
Participants | 1009 out of the potential 1318 children aged 8‐10 years old (who participated in a randomised controlled trial at 12 months old until 5‐6 years) were examined. | |
Interventions | Group 1: Fluoride toothpaste (440 ppm) from 12 months of age to 5‐6 years of age (n = 496).
Group 2: Fluoride toothpaste (1450 ppm) from 12 months of age to 5‐6 years of age (n = 513). A sample of children who were not given toothpaste formed a third group and not included in this review. |
|
Outcomes | TFI assessed from photographic digital images. | |
Notes | Intra‐examiner reliability (weighted Kappa = 0.73). Data for the third group not used within this review. Small discrepancies in the ORs estimates used in the review (generated by RevMan) compared to the original study. |
