Abstract

The antecedents of the program implemented in our country based on mouthwashes with sodium fluoride solution are dealt with. Reference is made to the poor situation of oral health that existed among most of the population before 1959, to the first experiences with the application of this method in 1969, and to what it meant as part of the National Program for the Prevention of Dental Caries. Likewise, the norms and methodology established at the national level, as well as the results of the quantitative and qualitative researches, from which information about the effectiveness of this preventive measure against dental caries has been obtained along these years, are stressed.
