Maternal and fetal exposures to fluoride during mid-gestation among pregnant women in northern California

Environmental Health, 2020
Background Previous studies have shown a correlation between fluoride concentrations in urine and community water fluoride concentrations. However, there are no studies of the relationship between community water fluoridation, urine, serum, and amniotic ...

A Model for the Analysis of Caries Occurrence in Primary Molar Tooth Surfaces [PDF]

, 2012
Recently methods of caries quantification in the primary dentition have moved away from summary ‘whole mouth’ measures at the individual level to methods based on generalised linear modelling (GLM) approaches or survival analysis approaches. However, GLM

Efficacy of the Indiana school water fluoridation program [PDF]

, 2002
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,

Comparison of surface roughness of root cementum and orthodontically induced root resorption craters from high- and low-fluoridation areas: a 3D confocal microscopy study

Progress in Orthodontics, 2022
Background Fluoride has a major role in strengthening the structure of enamel against acids. Despite differences between caries and root resorption processes, both events inherently involve acidic dissolution of dental tissues.

Bioethical considerations about water fluoridation: a critical review.

Journal of Oral Research, 2016
Dental caries is one of the oral pathologies with greater burden of disease in the Chilean population. Fluoridation of drinking water has been used as a caries prevention strategy. However, its application as a public policy has been questioned since its

Contemporary multilevel analysis of the effectiveness of water fluoridation in Australia

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2015
Aims: Water fluoridation was extended in Queensland, Australia, across 2009–2011. A research program was commenced to inform the rationale for and the outcome of this program, to estimate the effectiveness of water fluoridation in preventing caries and ...
