Fluoride treatment in osteoporosis.

چکیده
The use of fluoride for the treatment of established vertebral osteoporosis in adults with the symptomatic crush fracture syndrome is approved for use in 8 European countries.' This treatment was suggested by the low prevalence of osteoporosis in some areas where the drinking water contained moderately high concentrations of fluoride` and by the enormously increased bone density characteristic of fluorosis.5 There now exists a wealth of evidence and some controversy regarding the use of fluoride, and this article addresses the main issues involved.
