A school dental health program was carried out for 4-8 year-old children in an elementary school and kindergarten in Horieminami district in Naruto City for two years, 1981 to 1983. The program mainly included topical application of acidulated phosphate fluoride, daily tooth brushing after lunch, and dental health education. First molars and permanent incisors were examined, and the effect of the program on prevention of dental caries was evaluated. Children in another school in Horie-kita district were also surveyed as a control.<BR>When the program started, the caries prevalence rate and the average DMFT index of firstgrade school children in Horie-minami were significantly higher than those of the same grade of children in Horie-kita. However, children in both districts showed no difference in their oral status after the two-year program. The oral health status of children in Horie-minami had improved to the degree of that in Horie-kita.<BR>The second-year children of the kindergarten in Horie-minami had significantly more erupted first molars than those in Horie-kita at the beginning of the program, and they developed many more caries lesions in the first molars during the program. This indicated that it was difficult to prevent caries in first molars which had erupted earlier and prematurely.<BR>No significant correlation was observed in any teeth between the amount of dental plaque accumulated and the caries rate.<BR>The number of children who brushed more than twice a day increased significantly during the program in Horie-minami.<BR>However, the following problems remain to be solved: 1) the restration rate was much lower in Horie-minami children; and 2) children in the Horie district, in general, had more decayed teeth than the average Japanese child.
