Children with a high prevalence of dental caries living in a community with fluoridated water had received semi-annual half-mouth applications of one of two fluoride varnishes for three years. Two years after the applications were discontinued, we studied the post-treatment effect of the varnishes. The absolute reduction in caries found during the treatment was retained, but the cariostatic effect did not continue after treatment. This finding suggests that fluoride varnish applications should not be discontinued after three years.
