2019, International Journal of PaleopathologyCitation Excerpt :More work must be done to establish differences between dental changes due to fluorosis and those that may derive from a variety of systemic or local factors. It is now widely accepted by dental researchers that dental opacity observed in fluorosis is not true linear enamel hypoplasia, and therefore, linear enamel hypoplasia should not be considered a diagnostic feature of fluorosis (Aoba and Fejerskov, 2002; Fejerskov et al., 1977, 1996; Horowitz et al., 1984; Thylstrup and Fejerskov, 1979). Therefore, we did not include dental linear enamel hypoplasia as a diagnostic feature, however, in the Ray Site population we did observe and record dental defects including opacities, mottling, and dental pitting, which are pathological features associated with dental fluorosis.
Minimally invasive esthetic improvement in a patient with dental fluorosis by using microabrasion and bleaching: A clinical report
2018, Journal of Prosthetic DentistryCitation Excerpt :Radiographically, all maxillary anterior teeth displayed a uniform periodontal ligament space and intact laminae dura. The color, texture, and extension of the white and brown lesions present on the maxillary central incisors led to the diagnosis of dental fluorosis (Fig. 2) with a TSIF score of 4.4 The treatment plan presented to the patient included enamel microabrasion with 6.6% hydrochloric acid slurry followed by at-home whitening with a 10% carbamide peroxide gel.
Grading and quantification of dental fluorosis in zebrafish larva
2016, Archives of Oral BiologyCitation Excerpt :In the more severe forms, the enamel loses its smooth surface and has some pits, cracks, and fissures (Bronckers et al., 2009). Some indexes such as “Dean Index”, “Thylstrup-Fejerskov Index,” (TF Index) and “Total Surface Index of Fluorosis” (TSIF) are used to diagnose the severity of fluorosis (Dean, 1934; Horowitz, Driscoll, Meyers, Heifetz, & Kingman, 1984). The dose dependent effect of fluoride has been reported in several human and animal data (Dhar & Bhatnagar, 2009).
