Abstract

This review deals with and discusses the history and objectives of milk fluoridation from its early beginnings in Winterthur/Switzerland up to current, WHO-sponsored controlled clinical trials with some 10000 children in several developing and emerging countries as well as in Great Britain. Today the fluoridation of milk in Switzerland does not represent an alternative to the fluoridation of salt and therefore has no practical meaning in this country.
