The study was conducted in the summer season (April-May 2007). The fluoride concentration along with physico-chemical parameters in ground water samples was determined in various villages of Kadi tehsil at Mehsana district of Gujarat state (India), since in most of the villages it is the only source of drinking water. The fluoride concentrations in these villages varied from 0.94 to 2.81 mg/L (...

The CSF fluoride level of individuals drinking water with normal fluoride content and of patients with endemic fluorosis were studied. For the purpose of studying the relationship between the dynamic equilibrium of the CSF fluoride and other body fluids, urine and blood fluoride were examined simultaneously. Fluoride was revealed in every CSF sample of the control group and its mean value was l...

An investigation was made into a disease involving skin pigmentation, keratosis of the hands and feet, dental discoloration, and generalized bone and joint pain, stiffness and rigidity, in the village of Bazhi, Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, People's Republic of China. Measurements were made of the arsenic and fluoride levels of coal, water, air, food, urine and hair in Bazhi and a control vi...

The present work aims to study the level of fluoride in bore well, hand pump water samples of different villages of Mullana block, District Ambala, state Haryana & also to analyzed other water qualities parameters like pH, sulphate ions, chloride ions, total hardness, nitrite ions, methyl orange alkalinity, fluoride ion, iron, copper and cadmium. The analysis showed a minimum fluoride level of ...

background and aims. the aim of the present study was to systematically review fluoride concentration of drinking waters and prevalence of fluorosis in iran through systematically evaluating results of studies conducted in this regard. materials and methods. in this systematic review study, the required data was collected using keywords including drinking water fluoride, fluoride concentration,...

ABSTRACT: Relationship between bone fluoride content, pathological change in bone of aborted fetuses and maternal fluoride level was studied in 46 pregnant women and their inducedly-aborted fetuses. Results showed fluoride content in fetal femur averaged 368.2 micrograms(ug)/g, and 41.4% of the bone with pathological change. Fluoride levels in maternal urine and amniotic fluid and fluoride cont...

long-term ingestion of large amounts of fluoride can lead to potentially severe skeletal problems and neurological consequences. the study was conducted to assess and compare intelligence quotient of children living in high and low fluoride areas in kutch, gujarat, india.a cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among 100 school children aged 8 to 10 years, living in kutch district, gu...

BACKGROUND Different fluoride formulations may have different effects on caries prevention. It was the aim of this clinical study to assess the fluoride content, provided by NaF compared to amine fluoride, in saliva and plaque. METHODS Eight trained volunteers brushed their teeth in the morning for 3 minutes with either NaF or amine fluoride, and saliva and 3-day-plaque-regrowth was collected...

BACKGROUND Artificial fluoridation of drinking water to improve dental health has long been a topic of controversy. Opponents of this public health measure have cited the possibility of bone cancer induction. The study objective was to examine whether increased risk of primary bone cancer was associated with living in areas with higher concentrations of fluoride in drinking water. METHODS Cas...
