Journal of Dental Research, 1990Differentiating between fluorotic and non-fluorotic defects of dental enamel is an important diagnostic decision in epidemiology and public health dentistry. The commonly accepted diagnostic criteria for fluorosis discriminate between non-discrete symmetrical and asymmetrical distributions of opacities of dental enamel.

Fluoride, Altitude and Dental Fluorosis
Caries Research, 2009Children aged 11–15 years from three low-fluoride zones (< 0.5 ppm in drinking water) situated at sea level, 1,500 m and 2,400 m above sea level, and from two higher-fluoride zones (0.5–1.0 ppm in drinking water) were examined for dental fluorosis. In the low-F zones 36.4% of the children at sea level had dental fluorosis, as compared to 78.0% at 1 ...
