Mapping of fluoride endemic areas and assessment of fluoride exposure.
The prevalence of fluorosis is mainly due to the consumption of more fluoride through drinking water. It is necessary to find out the fluoride endemic areas to adopt remedial measures to the people on the risk of fluorosis. The objectives of this study are to estimate the fluoride exposure through drinking water from people of different age group and to elucidate the fluoride endemic areas thro...
متن کاملFluoride concentration in dentin of exfoliated primary teeth as a biomarker for cumulative fluoride exposure.
A biomarker for lifetime fluoride exposure would facilitate population-based research and policy making but currently does not exist. This study examined the suitability of primary tooth dentin as a biomarker by comparing dentin fluoride concentration and fluoride exposures. Ninety-nine children's exfoliated primary teeth were collected from 2 fluoridated and 2 fluoride-deficient communities in...
متن کاملKenhardt revisited--a study in a high fluoride area.
Sixty-one 14 to 17-year-old White children (2 7 males and 34 females) who were born and had been living continually in Kenhardt were selected for this study. The DM FT and DEGF were determined clinically. Acid etch biopsies were done on both the maxillary central incisors of each pupil. F and Ca analyses were carried out on the biopsy solutions and mass fluoride expressed in picograms (pg) and ...
متن کاملChronic Alcohol Consumption and the Development of Skeletal Fluorosis in a Fluoride Endemic Area of the Ethiopian Rift Valley
This study compared the occurrence of skeletal fluorosis in chronic consumers of locally brewed alcoholic beverages and their matched controls in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. The study revealed that chronic alcohol consumers developed severe forms of crippling skeletal fluorosis quite early in life. The controls were either symptom-free or exhibited mild forms of the fluorosis. The study showed t...
