The communities were selected to obtain a wide range of levels of fluoride in the drinking water. The children within each of the communities were contacted through their schools and received a dental examination to assess the severity of mottling. Information on demographic, dental health practice, and other candidate predictor variables was obtained from a questionnaire completed by a parent. A number of water quality measurements were also recorded for each community. White and Spanish-surname children had about the same prevalence of mottling while Blacks had a higher prevalence, odds ratio (OR) = 2.3, 95% confidence interval = 1.4, 3.7. Children from homes which had air conditioning had a lower prevalence of mottling (OR = .6, (0.4, 0.8)). The use of fluoride toothpaste or drops and the number of fluoride treatments were almost identical among those who did and did not develop moderate mottling. In addition to fluoride, total dissolved solids and zinc were water quality variables associated with mottling. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.75.12.1408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,27]],"date-time":"2008-11-27T05:26:53Z","timestamp":1227763613000},"page":"1408-1412","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Prevalence of dental mottling in school-aged lifetime residents of 16 Texas communities."],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"W J","family":"Butler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Segreto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"844","reference":[{"key":"p_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.7089534"},{"key":"p_2","first-page":"135","volume":"32","author":"Moiler IU","year":"1982","journal-title":"Int Dent J"},{"key":"p_3","first-page":"486","volume":"95","author":"Eklund S","year":"1980","journal-title":"Public Health Rep"},{"key":"p_4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/4581503"},{"key":"p_5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/4581707"},{"key":"p_6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1936.02770420007002"},{"key":"p_7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.26.6.567"},{"key":"p_8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/4582298"},{"key":"p_9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/4582787"},{"key":"p_10","unstructured":"Dean HT: The investigation of physiological effects by the epidemiologic method.
