“…[21] Do and co-workers found that fluorosis was more prevalent in children who were given infant formulas even when the traditional home prepared infant formulas where used. [22] Sarvaiya et al [8] had also reported that that the fluoride content in the water supplies are affected by climatic variations. It has been reported that fluoride content increases after a drought and decreases after heavy rains.…”

BACKGROUND Ground water is the major source of freshwater, hence protection of groundwater is critical for the welfare of humankind. The people living in rural areas are more exposed, since there is no centrally supplied water in these areas. The major source of fluoride in ground water is the fluoride-bearing rocks. Dental fluorosis which manifests as discolouration of teeth and skeletal fluorosis which are endemic are most early biomarkers of fluoride toxicity. Dharmapuri district in Tamilnadu is one such region where high concentration of fluoride is present in ground water. The present study was done to determine the occurrence of dental fluorosis in children belonging to Avarankattur village, Dharmapuri district and correlate to the fluoride content of the drinking water and other related factors.

Evaluation of dental caries and fluorosis prevalence of children in Eskisehir Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the dental caries and dental fluorosis in children living in Eskişehir. The etiological factors of the dental fluorosis and the correlation of the prevalence of dental fluorosis between dental caries were also determined. Methods: 4936 children between 8-12 years-old in Eskişehir were included. dft/DMFT and Thylstrup-Fejerskov index were used for the evaluation of the dental caries and fluorosis. Furthermore, the parents of the children were asked to fulfill an anamnesis form including the etiological factors, which were considered as the possible cause of the dental fluorosis. The fluoride concentrations of the drinking water were determined by the ion-chromatography. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann Whitney-U, Kruskal Wallis and the Spearman's Correlation Tests. Results: The mean DMFT score was 2.18±2.00, dental fluorosis prevalence was 1.9 % in the participating children. There was a significant difference between the towns regarding the prevalence of the dental fluorosis (p<0.001). The highest prevalence of dental fluorosis was determined in Çifteler (15.2 %), where the flour concentration in the water was above the optimal dose. A negative correlation was determined between the prevalence of the dental fluorosis and caries (p<0.01). Furthermore, a significant correlation was also determined between the dental fluorosis and the parental education level, living in the same region since birth, duration of the feeding with the mother's milk, the type of the drinking water, the type of the water used in the school and the type of the toothpaste (p<0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that along with the fluoride concentration in the drinking water also other factors such as the duration of the feeding with the mother's milk and the type of the used toothpaste are playing an important role in the prevalence of the dental fluorosis and all etiological factors should be taken into the consideration for the prevention it.

“…The Iowa Fluoride Study (USA) has proposed sources of F including formula milk, the use of fluoridated dental products and F ingested unintentionally through the halo-effect (Levy et al 2010 ). A positive association between formula milk feeding and prevalence of fluorosis at a detectable level has been reported (Do et al 2012 ).…”

AimTo provide a comprehensive report of fluoride concentration in UK infant milks and estimate their contribution to daily fluoride intake.MethodsA total of 60 formula milk products available commercially or within a hospital environment were analysed, along with eight pasteurised cow’s milk samples. Formula milk products requiring preparation were reconstituted with fresh Leeds tap water (0.02 ppmF). Fluoride concentration was measured for all products directly using an ion selective electrode after addition of low-level total ionic strength adjustment buffer.ResultsThe overall median fluoride concentration for the 68 infant milks was 0.025 ppmF, with a wide range of 0.002–0.282 ppmF. Analysis revealed variation between composition and manufacturer, in addition to differences between measured and labeled fluoride concentration. Although all products contained low fluoride concentration, the fluoride concentrations for formula milks used within the hospital setting (0.029 ppmF) were statistically higher in comparison to the commercial formula milk (0.016 ppmF) and cow’s milk (0.017 ppmF) products. The daily fluoride contribution from infant milks was low; 0.0034 mgF/kg body weight per day was estimated between birth and 6 months of age, further decreasing as intake of infant milk decreased with age.ConclusionsFluoride concentration of the analysed infant milks is low, providing minimal contribution towards total daily F intake and alone are unlikely to pose a threat for the development of dental fluorosis.

Association between infant formula feeding and dental fluorosis and caries in Australian children

Abstract: Infant formula use was associated with higher prevalence of fluorosis in nonfluoridated areas but not in fluoridated areas. Type of water used for reconstituting infant formula in fluoridated areas was associated with caries experience.
