Rationale | The literature reflects that fluoride varnish, when applied to the teeth of high-risk children, reduces, in conjunction with anticipatory guidance provided to the caregiver, the risk of the child developing caries (Weyant et al., 2013). Evidence in the literature also specifically supports the effectiveness of professionally applied fluoride varnish at preventing caries in higher risk children (Chou et al., 2014). |
Clinical Recommendation Statement | The 2013 American Dental Association (ADA) clinical recommendations for use of professionally applied or prescription-strength, home-use topical fluorides for caries prevention in patients at elevated risk of developing caries:
The United States Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF) recommends the use of professionally applied fluoride varnish for the prevention of dental caries in high risk children under 5 years of age (Chou et al., 2014). The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends the application of topical fluoride treatments at least twice per year to reduce the incidence of dental caries, with precise timing based upon the unique needs, risks, and benefits inherent to the individual patient (AAPD, 2023). |

Guidance (Usage) | This eCQM is a patient-based measure. Telehealth encounters are not eligible for this measure because the measure does not contain telehealth-eligible codes and requires a clinical action that cannot be conducted via telehealth. This FHIR-based measure has been derived from the QDM-based measure CMS74v15. Please refer to the HL7 QI-Core Implementation Guide (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU6/) for more information on QI-Core and mapping recommendations from QDM to QI-Core STU 6 (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU6/qdm-to-qicore.html). |
