This study found that the cumulative distribution method for analyzing a series of fluoride ion test results is a simple and useful method for determining the true course of the fluoridation process. Optimum results of fluoridation, in terms of caries reductions, can be anticipated only when mean fluoride ion values are consistently maintained at the optimum value for the area concerned.
