“…Es pertinente destacar que, con su clasificación de los grados de severidad de FD en una escala de valores de 0 a 9, el Índice TFI alcanza mayor nivel de detalle puesto que tales valores permiten identificar las características o cambios adamantinos que se observan en la superficie dental y correlacionar las características clínicas con las histológicas, donde los niveles más altos indican mayor severidad de FD. Por lo tanto, tal índice proporciona mayor exactitud para el diagnóstico en cuanto al grado de severidad y, con base en sus resultados, es posible determinar la complejidad del tratamiento (5,6,12,16,17).…”

“…El estudio de Sosa explica el efecto negativo de los fluoruros en el esmalte de los dientes que fue reportado por primera vez por McKay en 1916, quien halló que el contenido de fluoruro natural en el agua estaba relacionado con el esmalte moteado (4). Estudios realizados por Dean confirmaron esta correlación, "además de establecer que a mayor contenido de flúor en el agua se presentaba menor prevalencia de caries dental"; así mismo, se afirma que no es posible conseguir una prevención efectiva de la caries a través del uso de fluoruros sin que se presente algún grado de FD (5,6).…”

Objetivo: el presente estudio se propone identificar la severidad de la fluorosis en siete instituciones de salud de Barranquilla (Colombia) en el período comprendido entre enero de 2013 y junio de 2014. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo de corte transversal cuantitativo, en una población estimada de 350 niños y una muestra a conveniencia de 89, en edades entre 7 y 15 años, que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión establecidos aplicando Índice de Thylstrup y Fejerskov (TFI). Resultados: el grado de severidad que más predominó en la arcada superior fue TF2, con un porcentaje de 53.93%, correspondiente al primer molar (16); seguido de TF3, con 33.0% en el incisivo lateral (12). A su vez, en la arcada inferior, el grado de severidad de mayor predominio fue TF2, con 48.31% en los primeros molares derecho e izquierdo (46 y 36); seguido de TF1, con 47.19% en el incisivo central (31). Conclusión: la severidad TF2 fue la más predominante en ambas arcadas en incisivos y primeros molares, lo que corresponde a un nivel leve.

“…Dental enamel fluorosis (DF) is the most widely studied side effect attributed to prolonged and excessive fluoride intake, and occurs during tooth development (2). DF affects the deciduous and permanent dentition, and can vary from diffuse white lines to structural alterations (3). Severe cases compromise the dental surface and increase the susceptibility to dental caries.…”

Introduction and objective: The Dental Fluorosis (DF) is a development defect of enamel resulting from overexposure to fluoride and can aesthetically compromise the patient. This study aims to investigate the relationship between aesthetic perception and dental fluorosis (DF) in a low-income community with high DF prevalence. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 171 Colombian schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years living in low socioeconomic community (El Cedro, district of Ayapel, Córdoba, Colombia). After receiving authorization, the students were examined for DMFT and dmft indexes (WHO criteria), and for DF (TF index). The aesthetic perceptions were verified by the Child Perceptions Questionnaire About Tooth Appearance (CQATA). Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, the Student´s t-test, the one-way ANOVA test, and linear regression at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The prevalence of DF in this sample was 84.8% (n=145). Only the presence of caries (DMFT/ deft≠ 0) had a significant impact on aesthetic perceptions. A significantly lower rate was found in girls for the report of pleasant color domain. The number of teeth affected by DF had a significant positive correlation with mean overall perception of dental health. Conclusion: The presence of mild DF in children with low socioeconomic status, from a population with a high prevalence of the condition, did not seem to have an impact on the report of pleasant color of teeth domain.

“…Excess fluoride intake can interfere with the growth and development of enamel and produce a hypermineralized that can reduce the enamel hardness. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Fluorosis presents clinically in a variety of ways. The initial sign of fluorosis increases enamel porosity along the retzius striae and white patches with chalk-like perikymata lines on the tooth surface.…”

Dentistry treatment is not only focused on restoring the function of mastication but also onthe aesthetic problem. Fluorosis is one of the aesthetic problems caused by excessive fluoride intakeduring email formation and produced color changes on the surface of the email. Fluorosis was notaffected by the aesthetics but also influenced the confidence of the patient. The Microabrasion techniqueis an option for fluorosis because it is conservative treatment with good results. A 20-year-old womanwho came to the Dental Conservation clinic complained that she wants to remove the brown color andwhite spots seen on the front teeth, which significantly interfere with her appearance. Based on clinicalexamination, many cavities were found in the back teeth of the upper and lower jaw. The results of thehistory and clinical study revealed that the patient had fluorosis in her teeth. Microabrasion was carriedout using Opalustre (ultradent). This material was applied to the tooth surface and rubbed using anapplicator (opal bristle) for 60 seconds. Then applied fluoride gel paste with finishing cup opal.Treatment results showed changes in tooth color, brown and white patches disappeared. Microabrasionis the first choice for aesthetic treatment in fluorosis and has shown satisfying results to restore thepatient's aesthetics problem. KEYWORDS: Fluorosis, microabrasion technique
