Public Health Dentistry — Key differences for NEET MDS
Optimal fluoride = 0.7ppm current CDC recommendation. Certainly Lethal Dose = 32-64 mg/kg NaF. Safely Tolerated Dose = CLD divided by 4. Chronic fluoride toxicity = Dental and Skeletal fluorosis. Deans Index for dental fluorosis = 7 categories. Defluoridation methods = Nalgonda technique activated alumina. Community water fluoridation = most cost effective public health measure.

RCT = randomized controlled trial gold standard intervention. Sensitivity = true positive rate = detect disease. Specificity = true negative rate = rule out disease. PPV = positive predictive value prevalence dependent.
