Abstract


Background: Caries is a dental infectious disease that causes demineralization of tooth structure. Based on Basic Health Research in 2018, the prevalence of tooth decay, cavities, and toothache in Indonesia reached 45.3%. It states that dental caries proportion is one of the biggest problems in Indonesia. Tooth remineralization requires sufficient fluoride. The need for bottled water is growing very rapidly around the world because consumers believe in practicality and good quality. Previous research suggested that further research on it is needed. Objective: To describe the correlation between fluoride content in bottled water with dental caries status. Methods: This is a type of Systematic Literature Review study using secondary data in the form of articles published on the PubMed database, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Ebsco, and Proquest. Results: A Systematic review of 16 articles showed that the majority of the fluoride content in bottled drinking water was still below recommendations. Optimal fluoride content in bottled water is correlated to low dental caries status. Conclusion: There is a correlation between fluoride content in bottled water with dental caries status.
