In vitro evaluation of dentin permeability of fluorotic primary teeth with a new electronic hydraulic conductance measurement system with photosensors

Dental fluorosis is a severe dental extremity due to excess fluoride intake during enamel formation, resulting in color abnormalities and severe tooth defects on its surface. This dental condition leads to abnormal appearance ranging from mild white to dark brown, affecting the esthetic characteristics and personality of the patient that eventually lowers their self-confidence. Restoration procedures and tooth-whitening procedures are the well-appreciated treatment methods for treating this anomaly. The current clinical report illustrates the minimally invasive technique for esthetic management of dental fluorosis in a 27-year-old male affected by dental fluorosis. Clinical examination revealed dental fluorosis of class II spots according to Dean's classification of fluorosis severity. The treatment plan involves minimally invasive micro-abrasion, vital teeth bleaching, and resin infiltration technique for blending different microporous lesions, mild-to-moderate fluorosis, and hypoplasia stains.

“…The high fluoride intake means severe dental fluorosis is commonly encountered in Isparta. 17 The natural water supply is the major source of fluoride ions in this city. Annual minimum and maximum fluoride levels of Göl-cük Crater Lake and Andik River (the water sources of Isparta) are 0.79 ppm and 1.55 ppm (1.12¡0.29 ppm) and 2.55 ppm and 3.40 ppm (2.96¡0.31 ppm), respectively.…”

Objectives: Fluoride is one of the biological trace elements with a strong affinity for osseous, cartilaginous and dental tissue. The dental and skeletal effects of high fluoride intake have already been studied in the literature, but little is known about the effects of high fluoride intake on edentulous mandibles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of high fluoride intake on mandibular bone mineral density (BMD) measured by the dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technique in edentulous individuals with systemic fluorosis. Methods: 32 people who were living in an endemic fluorosis area since birth and 31 people who were living in a non-endemic fluorosis area since birth (control group) participated in this study. Systemic fluorosis was diagnosed in the patients using the sialic acid (NANA)/ glycosaminoglycan (GAG) ratio. The BMDs of the mandibles were determined by the DXA technique. Results: The serum NANA/GAG ratios in the fluorosis group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p , 0.001). There was also a statistically significant difference in mandibular BMD measurements (p , 0.05) between the systemic fluorosis and control groups, as measured by the DXA technique. Mandibular body BMD measurements were higher in the fluorosis group (1.25¡0.24 g cm 22 ) than in the control group (1.01¡0.31 g cm 22 ). Conclusions:The results of the study showed that fluoride intake higher than the optimum level causes increased mandibular BMD in edentulous individuals. Further dose-related studies are needed to determine the effects of high fluoride intake on bony structures of the stomatognathic system.
