| description | One of the most effective public health measures for controlling the caries has been the drinking water fluoridation. Usually, drinking water contains fluor to reduce caries incidence. In 90s, Chile started a debate about the legitimation of the utilization of drinking water fluoride in whole population and the effects that fluor has on the body, creating a polemic about this policy. The goal of this paper is to explore the controversy between the use of fluoridate drinking water for reducing caries like public health policy, from the point of view of Actor-Network theory. Experts and people of community do not agree about the effectiveness of this measure because of the lack of permission of consumer or the potential negative effects in the human health. |

Usually, drinking water contains fluor to reduce caries incidence. In 90s, Chile started a debate about the legitimation of the utilization of drinking water fluoride in whole population and the effects that fluor has on the body, creating a polemic about this policy. The goal of this paper is to explore the controversy between the use of fluoridate drinking water for reducing caries like public health policy, from the point of view of Actor-Network theory. Experts and people of community do not agree about the effectiveness of this measure because of the lack of permission of consumer or the potential negative effects in the human health. Actualmente una de las medidas preventivas a nivel de Salud Pública más reconocidas en el control de las caries es el uso de fluoruros. A menudo, se agrega fluoruro al agua potable como elemento reductor de las caries. En los años noventa, comienza en Chile un debate sobre la legitimidad de utilizar un medio de consumo masivo como el agua y los efectos que el flúor tiene sobre el cuerpo humano, configurándose una polémica en relación a esta política pública. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la controversia existente en el uso del agua potable fluorada para disminuir la incidencia de caries como medida de salud pública en Chile, desde la mirada de la Teoría del Actor Red. Expertos y personas integrantes de la comunidad discrepan de la efectividad de esta medida, ya sea por la falta de consentimiento del consumidor o supuestos efectos perjudiciales sobre la salud, entre otras razones. 2019-08-16 2022-03-22T15:04:04Z 2022-03-22T15:04:04Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/742 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2019-0013 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80124 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/742/3205 Derechos de autor 2019 Estudios Atacameños.
