Fluoride is now accessible in a variety of forms, including water, toothpaste, mouth rinses, and professional fluoride therapy at dental clinics. A body of data supports the use of systemic and topical fluoride from various sources to prevent dental caries. Fluoride ions are absorbed by the enamel prior to tooth eruption and produce fluorohydroxyapatite, which is more resistant to acid attack t...

Previous reports found that some fluoride-containing dentifrices do not release effective concentrations of fluoride during brushing. Failure to release fluoride can be due to dentifrice matrix components that interfere with the solubilization of the fluoride salts during brushing. A new generation of dentifrices has the capability to precipitate beneficial fluoride salts during tooth brushing....

Vertébral osteoporosis is characterized by a prédominant atrophy of spongy bone inducing non-traumatic vertébral fractures. Because a low bone mass is the major déterminant of fracture risk, the idéal therapy for established vertébral osteoporosis should increase trabecular bone mass substantially, thereby decreasing the risk of new crush fractures. This idéal treatment should also be capable o...

background and purpose: fluoride is one of the drinking water contaminants regulated by epa. this ion, in low doses in the mouth reduces tooth decay without health risk and at much higher doses causes health complications and can be toxic. the major sources of exposure to fluoride are drinking water, food, dental products, and pesticides. the biggest contributor to exposure for most people in i...

abstract fluoride (f-) is an essential element for human and some animals. the fluoride concentration in irrigation water is an important index for water quality. the objective of the present study was to determine spatial variability of fluoride in groundwater and soils of some areas in arak plain. therefore, during two seasons, autumn (2007) and the end of spring (2008), 87 and 92 water sampl...

fluoride is one of the most important elements in the composition of teeth and bones. this element can enter the body via different ways. however, drinking water is the most important way to receive fluoride by a lot of people. an increase in fluoride level in the body causes dental fluorosis and its absence leads to teeth decay. standard rate of fluoride in drinking water is determined by the ...
