“…Sodium fluoride was a widely used medical treatment for otosclerosis in the latter half of the twentieth century. Several studies have shown a modest reduction in the progression of sensorineural hearing loss with fluoride treatment [6,20,21,22, 23,24], and since the side effects are generally benign, fluoride continues to be employed for treatment of otosclerosis in some centers.…”

“…In general, treatment consists of hearing aids or removing the stapes superstructure and replacing it with a prosthesis: stapedectomy or stapedotomy. In 1964, Shambaugh and Scott were the first to propose sodium fluoride for the treatment of otosclerosis (2). Sodium fluoride is thought to stabilize the pathologically imbalanced bone metabolism by neutralizing proteolytic enzymes that are involved in the disease process (3).…”
