Introduction: It has been proved that sufficient amount of fluoride in drinking water can decrease the rate of dental caries. The aim of this study was to determine fluoride content of drinking waters in the 8 cities of Kerman province as well as 11 types of mineral water sold in supermarkets of Kerman. Method: Fluoride contents of 42 drinking water samples belonged to 8 cities of Kerman provin...

Effects of 5 kinds of fluorides on the twitch of the sartorius muscle of the bull frog were investigated. All of the fluorides (0.1-2.0 mM) enhanced the twitch evoked by nerve stimulation. The extents of enhancement at 2.0 mM were in the order: stannous fluoride much greater than potassium fluoride greater than sodium silico fluoride greater than sodium fluoride greater than diammine silver flu...

a flow injection system is reported for the determination of fluoride based on its effects on the fluorescence intensity of al-morin complex at ph 3.0 in ethanol-warn mixture. the effect of important parameters such as excitation and emission wavelengths, ph, reagents concenkations, flow rate of the carrier stream, sample injection volume, time of measurepent and interferences are reported. cat...

Aims: The first aim of this in vitro study was the comparative assessment of enamel surface morphology and analytical assessment of calcium and fluoride ions after topical application of three sodium fluoride solutions: solutions A and B having the same concentration (0.05% sodium fluoride) and solution C having a higher concentration (0.1% sodium fluoride). The second aim was to assess the rem...

Fluorides are found in the waste discharges from process streams in a number of industries. Significant amounts of fluoride come from the following industries: semiconductor, photovoltaic, glass manufacturers, electroplating, steel and aluminum, pesticides and fertilizer. The fluoride concentration in untreated effluent can vary over a large range, and the allowable level for discharge depends ...

OBJECTIVE Prolonged excessive intake of fluoride during child's growth and development stages has been associated with mental and physical problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of excessive fluoride intake on the intelligence quotient (IQ) of children living in five rural areas in Makoo/Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 293 children aged 6-11 y...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Chronic fluoride intoxication through drinking water is a serious health problem. Patients with diabetes are known to have impaired renal function and elimination of fluoride from the body is mainly done through kidney. Fluoride toxicity in diabetes patients may aggravate complications. In this study, the influence of fluoride was assessed on streptozotocin (STZ) induced...
