Nanostructured metal fluorides (nanofluorides) are an emerging type of inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) with unique physiochemical properties for advanced applications. One recent demonstration used water-dispersed ultrasmall CaF2 nanofluorides as imaging agents that combined the advantages NCs benefit background-free 19F-magnetic resonance (19F-MRI). Nevertheless, obtaining small a face-centered c...

objectives: fluoride therapy is important for control and prevention of dental caries. laser irradiation can increase fluoride uptake especially when combined with topical fluoride application. the objective of this study was to compare the effects of co 2 and diode lasers on enamel fluoride uptake in primary teeth. materials and methods: forty human primary molars were randomly assigned to fou...

OBJECTIVE To determine fluoride excretion under various conditions of fluoride intake and to estimate the fractional urinary excretion of fluoride in individual children participating in a school milk fluoridation scheme. DESIGN In the first part of the study, individual urine samples were collected from each of eight 4 to 5-year-old children for a continuous period of 55 h. For each child (n...

The beneficial effects of fluoride on human oral health are well studied. There are numerous studies demonstrating that a small amount of fluoride delivered to the oral cavity decreases the prevalence of dental decay and results in stronger teeth and bones. However, ingestion of fluoride more than the recommended limit leads to toxicity and adverse effects. In order to update our understanding ...

This study examined barium concentrations in the mushroom Trogia venenata, the leading culprit for sudden unexpected deaths in Yunnan, southwest China. We found that barium concentrations in T. venenata from Yunnan were low and comparable to other foods, inconsistent with barium concentrations in this mushroom as a significant contributor to these deaths.

Background; Fluoride is an essential nutrient for the human body. The major routes of fluoride intake include food and drinking water, though the absorption of fluoride from food is much easier. The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of fluoride in the soil and tomato and onion crops on farms of Zanjan. Methods; Three farms of each crop (tomato and onion) were selected randomly. Ea...

Introduction Fluoride (F−) is an important anion, present in various environmental, clinical and food samples. Small amounts of fluoride are vital for the human organism, but it is toxic in larger amounts. For adults the lethal dose is 0.20–0.35 g F− per kg body weight. Fluoride is widely used in various branches of industry and some fluoride compounds are formed as by-products in certain proce...

Pure barium zirconate nanopowders were successfully prepared in wet-chemistry synthesismethod, using barium stearate and tetra-n-butyl zirconate as Ba, Zr sources and stearic acid ascomplexing reagent. The gel was calcined at 800 and 900 °C in air. Results of thermal analysisare given, including both DTG and TG. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-raydiffraction (XRD), transmissio...

Crop field soil collected from Sambalpur University campus of Odisha and treated with various fluoride concentrations was used to raise selected local crops. Background concentration of total and leachable fluoride content in soil was 95.19 and 8.89 ppm respectively. At the time of harvest of the crops, the total fluoride content was found to decrease and leachable fluoride content was found to...

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.in this cross-sectional study, 293 children aged 6-11 years were selected from five villag...
