Efficacy of the Indiana school water fluoridation program [PDF]
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In 1973 the state of Indiana initiated a program to fluoridate the water in rural school systems to a concentration of 4.0 ppm. Today, the optimal concentration is 3.5 ppm. When it was initiated,

Anisotropy Analysis of Bamboo and Tooth Using 4‐Angle Polarization Micro‐Spectroscopy
Super‐resolution via orientation: spatial distribution of specific molecular vibrations are revealed at 1/20 of the diffraction limit. ABSTRACT To investigate the anisotropic properties of biomaterials, two distinct classes are considered as follows: polymer‐based (cellulose in plants) and crystalline‐based (enamel in teeth), each demonstrating ...

Relationship between enamel fluorosis severity and fluoride content [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Enamel fluorosis is a hypomineralization caused by chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride during tooth development. Previous research on the relationship between enamel fluoride content and fluorosis severity has been equivocal.
