Fluoride’s Effects on the Formation of Teeth and Bones, and the Influence of Genetics
6 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Fluorides are present in the environment. Excessive systemic exposure to fluorides can lead to disturbances of bone homeostasis (skeletal fluorosis) and enamel development (dental/enamel fluorosis). The severity of dental fluorosis is also dependent upon fluoride dose and the timing and duration of fluoride exposure. Fluoride's actions on bone cells predominate as anabolic effects both in vitro and in vivo. More...
