Abstract
This study assessed cariostatic effect of one fluoride varnish Duraphat® among children with a low caries risk and compared this effect to group of a moderate caries risk, belonging to same ethnic group with same socioeconomic background. Results of this study showed that fluoride varnish had cario-static effect in a group of children with a moderate caries risk but not among those with a low caries risk.
