They were used on a nation-wide basis, in those regions where drinking water fluoridation had not been implemented. In the 1990s the preventive program based on fluoride tablets was stopped. Regarding the current situation, this preventive measure is again being recommended by professional organizations of both pediatricians and pediatric dentists, but under adjusted dosage pattern.
