Background: The quantification of fluorosis using fluorescence imaging (QLF) hardware and stain analysis software has been demonstrated in selected populations with good correlation between ...

Seven pictures representing different levels of dental fluorosis (mild, moderate and severe) categorised using the TF index 11 were shown randomly to the study participants. Three pairs of ...

Science Signaling (2020) Enlarge image At low concentrations, fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. But overexposure to fluoride during childhood, when permanent teeth are still ...

Exposing teeth to excessive fluoride alters calcium signaling, mitochondrial function, and gene expression in the cells forming tooth enamel—a novel explanation for how dental fluorosis ...

A major cause of fluorosis is the inappropriate use of fluoride-containing dental products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses. Sometimes, children enjoy the taste of fluoridated toothpaste so ...

It's more likely it's the conditions that amoxicillin is given for which are causing the damage, rather than the drug itself It was found that amoxicillin use from three to six months doubled the risk ...

The images were exported to a computer and scored for fluorosis using the Thystrup & Fejerskov (TF) Index by a trained examiner (MGM) based at a remote location. The images were presented in a ...
