The amount of fluoride adsorbed onto hydroxyapatite increased as the aqueous fluoride concentration increased. When the aqueous fluoride concentration exceeded 100 ppm, the total amount of fluoride adsorbed onto hydroxyapatite decreased after being washed off with water three times. It is postulated that when the aqueous fluoride concentration exceeds 100 ppm, a multilayer structure of calcium ...

introduction: over twenty developed and developing countries have regions with endemic floursis, on the other hand tooth decay as an infectious disease in human societies is reported to occur due to the shortage of fluoride in water. since decayed, missing, and filled teeth dmft is considered a 52 -character indicator in health equity, the present research aims at studying the relationship betw...

Like many elements, fluorine (which generally occurs in nature as fluoride) is beneficial to human health in trace amounts, but can be toxic in excess. The links between low intakes of fluoride and dental protection are well known; however, fluoride is a powerful calcium-seeking element and can interfere with the calcified structure of bones and teeth in the human body at higher concentrations ...

Parotid ductal saliva fluoride concentrations were determined as an indication of baseline plasma fluoride levels in three groups of children. Group I had been exposed to drinking water containing less than 0.1 ppm F and had not received fluoride supplements. Group II had consumed optimally fluoridated water (1 ppm) since infancy. Group III had consumed water with less than 0.1 ppm F but had re...

The amount of fluoride found in the bone is usually correlated with the amount of fluoride found either in water or in a person’s diet. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the beneficial incorporation of fluoride into rat bone after prenatal fluoride administration, using microstructural analysis. Fifteen 8week-old female were divided into five groups (one control group and four experimen...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The concentration of fluoride in water is usually higher in areas around the coal mines. Zarand region in the south-east of Iran is known for its coal mines. Some studies have shown the high prevalence of fluorosis and some studies reported high levels of fluoride in the region. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to use Geographic Information System (GIS) to assess the relations...

Water quality directly influences individual and public health. Monitoring of water supplies and their sanitation is of paramount importance. The present study aimed to determine the concentrations of fluoride, chlorine, potassium, sodium, and trihalomethanes in the drinking water of five major universities in Iran. This descriptive study was conducted during January 2016-2017. In total, 60 sam...

The objective of this study was to detect the fluoride level in the drinking water and the urine of habitants aged 16-55 years living in Inner Mongolia China. Furthermore, fluoride concentration of the brick tea infusion samples which were drunk by Mongolia herdsmen in everyday life living in SumuErga village of Ejin Horo Banner, Inner Mongolia China was also determined. A total of 117 particip...
