“…The fact that the fluoride exposure data of this study were similar to that reported by other studies in Australia including the parent COHS study (unpublished) and the study by Riordan in Western Australia (14) indicated a low level of recall bias. The COHS questionnaire was carefully designed to minimize such bias.…”

“…It reported a reduction in the prevalence of fluorosis in WA children 10 years of age compared with the findings of a previous study (3). The prevalence figures in nonfluoridated Bunbury were 33.0% in 1990 and 10.8% in 2000 (14). The prevalence figures in nonfluoridated Bunbury were 33.0% in 1990 and 10.8% in 2000 (14).…”

There is an ongoing debate whether early exposure to fluoride is necessary. The effect of early exposure to fluoride needs to be understood to inform the appropriate population oral health policy. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic fluoride intake in early childhood on caries experience of the permanent dentition observed at the age of 8 or 9 years, controlling for the effects of topical exposures to fluoride at the age of 5 years. The fluorosis experience of children was used as a proxy indicator for early exposure to fluoride, while exposures to fluoride at the age of 5 years, which were collected retrospectively, were used to control for the topical effect on permanent caries experience of the same children. Caries experience recorded at 8 or 9 years of age of 571 children was compared between groups with or without fluorosis. Bivariate analysis and multivariate analysis controlling for exposures to fluoride at the age of 5 years and other potential contributory factors were conducted. A quarter of the sample had very mild to mild fluorosis, while 15% had caries experience in the permanent dentition. Multivariate models showed that children who did not have fluorosis had a higher prevalence and severity of caries compared to those with fluorosis after controlling for other factors. In conclusion, there was a significant negative association between fluorosis status and caries experience in the permanent dentition.

“…However, this is the first study in which the possibility of using nails as biomarkers of subchronic exposure from fluoride dentifrice in children at the age of risk for dental fluorosis on the permanent central incisors was investigated. This is an important issue, since the early use of fluoride dentifrice has been implicated as an important risk factor for dental fluorosis [Evans, 1991;Mascarenhas and Burt, 1998;Warren and Levy, 1999;Pereira et al, 2000;Buzalaf et al, 2002a;Riordan, 2002].…”

This work evaluated the use of fingernails and toenails as biomarkers of subchronic exposure to fluoride (F) from fluoride dentifrice (FD) in 2- to 3-year-old children. Ten 2- to 3-year-old children used a placebo dentifrice (without F) for 28 days, FD (1,570 ppm F as monofluorophosphate) for the following 28 days, and then placebo dentifrice for an additional 28 days, then returned to their usual dentifrices. Fingernails and toenails were clipped every 2 weeks, during the experimental period and for an additional 22 weeks. Nail F was analyzed by electrode following hexamethyldisiloxane-facilitated diffusion. There were no significant differences between fingernail and toenail F concentrations. Mean peak F concentrations occurred 16 weeks after starting the use of FD. Results suggest that fingernails and toenails may be suitable biomarkers of subchronic exposure to F from FD in small children.
