A questionnaire study was conducted to assess the attitudes of dental students towards caries prevention using fluoride. The subjects were 93 1^<st> grade and 82 6^<th> grade students in the school of dentistry, Health Sciences University of Hokkaido. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. The results were as follows: 1. Both 1^<st> and 6^<th> grade students appeared to recognize the status of caries prevention in Japan. 2. The 1^<st> grade students have little basic knowledge about fluorides, except for fluoride toothpaste. But the 6^<th> grade students had clearly more knowledge about fluorides. 3. Both 1^<st> and 6^<th> grade students appeared to recognize the effects of fluorides for caries prevention. But both regarded toothbrushing as the main element in the caries prevention. The necessity of dental education under the Evidence Based Medicine was suggested. 4. Significantly more 6^<th> grade students showed knowledge of safty, propellant, and action of fluoride application. 5. It is concluded that it is necessary to continue dental education in preventive dentistry using fluorides for pre and post-graduate dental students.
