Summary:Summary Background & aims To identify manufactured soy-based products more recommended by pediatricians and nutritionists; to determine fluoride concentrations in these products; to evaluate children concerning fluorosis in primary teeth and its association with the consumption of soy-based products. Methods Pediatricians and Nutritionists answered a questionnaire about soy-based products they most recommended to children. Fluoride concentrations of the 10 products more cited were analyzed with the ion-specific electrode. Dental fluorosis exams were performed in 315 4–6-year-old children. Dean's Index was used to assess fluorosis. Among the children examined, 26 had lactose intolerance.

Chi-squared and Multivariable Logistic Regression tests were used ( p
