The present study was designed to investigate the toxic effects (evaluated as histopathological changes) of sodium fluoride on the kidney in two consecutive generations of NMRI mice. An attempt to correlate the toxicity with the urinary elimination of fluoride has been made, as urinary fluoride excretion has been widely used as an indicator of fluoride intake and exposure. Six mixed (males and ...

calcium fluoride deposit during fluoride application. uptake and retention of fluoride by saliva depends generally on the concentration of calcium. in this study, the effect of calcium pre-rinse on salivary fluoride concentration after a 900 ppm fluoride mouthwash was investigated.this cross-over double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in a girls' dormitory in zahedan university of...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of fluoride release from an autopolymerizing fissure sealant containing various proportions of sodium fluoride. In the first phase, cured resin discs containing 0.00%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 1.0%, and 2.5% sodium fluoride were evaluated over a 180-day period. The second phase studied the release from the fissure sealant containing 2.5% sodium fluoride...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy ofa dentifrice containing 0.3% triclosan/2.0% PVM/MA copolymer/0.243% sodium fluoride for controlling established gingivitis and supragingival plaque relative to that of a dentifrice containing 0.454% stannous fluoride, sodium hexametaphosphate, and zinc lactate, and a dentifrice containing 0.243% sodium fluoride as a negative control. METHODS Following a base...

Recently, a novel antibacterial fluoride dentifrice containing stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphosphate (CrestPRO-HEALTH) was introduced. A digital plaque image analysis (DPIA) technique was used to quantify in situ plaque formation in a population carrying out a phased intervention protocol that included: (1) an initial treatment regimen including toothbrushing with standard sodium fluor...

In this study, we investigated the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling in sodium fluoride-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in mouse splenocytes. Intragastric administration of 12, 24 or 48 mg/kg sodium fluoride resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in DNA fragmentation and apoptosis in mouse splenocytes on days 21 and 42. High ROS levels corr...

background and aims. dental caries still remains a major problem in the field of oral and dental health and its prevention is more important than its treatment. fluoride plays a significant role in prevention of caries, and improving oral and dental health. one of the common ways of fluoride use is the use of a fluoride-containing mouthwash, the most important of which in use is 0.2% sodium flu...

BACKGROUND: This study was designed to assess the knowledge and attitude of male students of Kerman primary schools about 0.2% sodium fluoride mouthwash solution that students used it once a week.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 502 boys, eight to nine year-old and students of Kerman primary schools were selected for the study. The data related to their knowledge and attitude ...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, distribution, and topographic relationship of vascular (18)F-sodium fluoride uptake and arterial calcification in major arteries. METHODS Image data obtained from 75 patients undergoing whole-body (18)F-sodium fluoride PET/CT were evaluated retrospectively. Arterial radiotracer uptake and calcification were analyzed qualitatively...
